History
Country Silver Salver
36 Holes Gross
Originated to cater for the 15 - 18 handicap range i.e. those not eligible for State Championships.
The predecessor Women's Golf WA approached Mr. Linton (Silversmith) on 24/8/1956 to make a suitable cup for this event.
Miss Gladys Hawkes was State Handicapper for 22 years. She was concerned for the country golfer and initiated Executive representation in Country areas at her own expense. She "lived and breathed for country people" and did all she could to help them in any way possible. Miss Hawkes was given Life Membership in 1979 and died in 1989.
