STANDINGS
Kubesheski claims third Women’s Senior
Player of the Year title
Since the inauguration of the award in 2010, Rose Kubesheski
of Dubuque has been a mainstay at the top of the Women’s
Senior Player of the Year standings. In 2016, she earned her
third win (2010 & 2013).
Kubesheski ran away with the 2016 POTY title as she finished
nearly 260 points ahead of runner-up, Janece Schwartzkopf,
of Stuart. Kubesheski competed in four events which included
three victories; her first coming in the IGA Women’s Four-Ball
(with partner Robin Webb), her second in the IGA Forever
39 Match Play Championship, and her third when she won
her fifth IGA Women’s Senior Amateur Championship at
Briarwood Club of Ankeny in late September.
Schwartzkopf’s 621.5 points was good enough to earn
her second place in the point standings. The high point of
Schwartzkopf’s season came in mid-July when she won the
Open Division of the Iowa Women’s Amateur Championship.
She also finished runner-up in the Iowa Women’s Senior
Amateur Championship and third in the IGA Women’s Four-
Ball with partner Carroll Dethrow.
The standings may have looked differently had Robin Webb,
of Clive, not have had to withdraw from the Senior Women’s
Amateur Championship, but nonetheless, Webb earned
500 points to finish in third place in the point standings.
She played in three events which included winning the IGA
Women’s Four-Ball with partner Kubesheski.
