2008 WSGA/WWPLGA STROKE PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP

Werwie beats fellow Badgers to win women’s stroke play title at Reedsburg Country Club
by Rick Pledl

For a while, as the final round of the WWSGA/WWPLGA State Stroke Play Championship unfolded in July, it appeared the top players were competing for the honor of “low Badger” rather than for a state amateur title. As the final round of the 54-hole tournament got underway at Reedsburg CC, five of the eight players in the final two groups were current members of the University of Wisconsin women’s golf team.

When the final shot had been struck, 19-year-old sophomore-to-be Carly Werwie took home the title by a three-stroke margin in one of Wisconsin’s most prestigious tournaments for amateur women.

“It’s nice to win,” Werwie said afterward. “I haven’t won anything since last year at the State Match Play. It’s always nice to get your name on a state tournament (trophy).”

I didn’t really make any long putts,” Werwie said. The greens are rolling nice out here, but they are quick and that made things a little difficult.”

Werwie almost took putting out of the equation completely on the other par-5 on Reedsburg’s back nine, the 16th hole, which played about 470 yards for the tournament. Standing over her third shot from about 50 yards, Werwie took a half-swing with her 56-degree wedge and almost holed the shot on the fly. The ball landed 2 inches short of the hole and rolled 2 feet past, from where Werwie rolled in the birdie putt.

 Finishing second was Elena Vukmir of Muskego Lakes CC in Muskego, who rallied with a final-round 72 that matched Werwie for the low round of the tournament.

Like Werwie, Vukmir also mentioned the putting surfaces when asked to assess the tournament setup at Reedsburg CC, a club known in state golf circles for its lightning-fast greens.

“The greens were tough,” Vukmir said. “Since they are so fast, you had to get the read perfectly because there’s not much room for error.”

It Would Be Great to Be a Member Here Award –
Reedsburg CC, Reedsburg, Wisconsin

All I can say is it’s the type of course you could play 20 times a year and never get bored doing so. The course has a northwoods feel to it although you’re only 15 minutes from the hustle and bustle of Wisconsin Dells. The conditioning is impeccable, the staff is ultrafriendly and the rates are ridiculous – sounds like a winning a combination to me!
