REIGNING champion Colleen Skuse will defend the Kevin Hollis Glass women's shootout title on Sunday.
Whether it's a successful defence will be known after several hours of the popular hole-by-hole net elimination final.
Skuse chipped in on the 18th for a net eagle last year to knock out Jan Steele and claim the loot.
She only just made the final 19 this year as one of three players on a net qualifying score of 227, which nabbed the 17th to 19th spots.
But the shootout is simply about qualifying, not where you qualify.
Marg Colebourne nabbed the No.1 spot with a 214 total for her three best nets.
The rest of the field are Pen Wanklyn (216), Gay Young (216), Peri Gayford (218), Pip Dymock (218), Rochelle Taewa (220), Rosie Spence (220), Vonnie Fletcher (221), June MacKinnon (222), Marg Lane (223), Birgitt Whyte (223), Teresa Lewis (223), Mary Allan (223), Odette Thompson (224), Debbie Kirkpatrick (225), Colleen Skuse (227), Marg Williams (227) and Jan Utting (227).
The men's final is also on Sunday. As of earlier this week, the 19 finalists had been confirmed, with six players on standby for a chip-off in case any finalists are unable to play.
Sunday — Men's stableford: G Morley 36, A Hayward 35, G Hawea 35, M Barker 35.
Twos: G Clapham, G Hawea, B Morgan.
COMING UP: MONDAY, Nov 22, 5.30pm, Poverty Bay Golf Club's annual general meeting; SUNDAY, Dec 12, Taste One Christmas hams open tournament.
