But to win it eight times is out of this world.

And that is exactly what Webbcona's Glad Gullock has done.

The "Pocket Rocket" defeated her daughter, Loris Gullock, on Friday - amazingly it was her fifth consecutive final, of which she has won three.

And it is the second time she has played one of her four daughters for the crown, having lost to Jenny Shepherd two years ago.

"Jenny beat me the first time and I beat Loris this time. I've got two more (daughters) to go," she said.

And it is not beyond the realms of possibility, with her other two daughters - Joy Falthan and Vicki Waldron - also playing pennant for Webbcona.

"I don't know (who I'll play next year). I think they'd all like to," Gullock said.

"It's been lovely having four daughters at the club.

"We go away as a family to Alice Springs every second year.

"We've won a couple of gold, silver and bronze there in bowls.

"We go as a family and we play bowls, cricket, golf, swimming, tennis - one of my daughters (Falthan) is a very good tennis player, she's just been to the (World) Masters (Games) in Sydney."

Regardless of who she is playing, you can be sure Gullock is giving her all.

"I told them the other day, someone said to me, 'Are you going to lay down for your daughter?'," the 81-year-old said.

"No, if she wants to win it she's got to earn it - I'm still competitive."

She won her first club championship nearly 30 years ago - in the 1981-82 season, when she was president and won the president's handicap.

That was the time she lists as the highlight of her illustrious career.

"One year, Bill Crawford used to have a session on the radio every Sunday morning and he invited me in to speak.

"And he said, `Is it true you were runner-up for every single thing for the year?'

"And I said, `Oh yeah, I was.'

"So the next year I was the winner in every single one."

Her competitive spirit has been a big plus for Webbcona.
