Ladies Noticeboard

The ladies team have now qualified to play in the quarter finals of the Bell Cup. Our opponants are The Mere GC. Normally rounds are a mixture of home and away but because it is the quarter finals, a neutral ground has been decided upon, this is Saddleworth G.C.

The match is on the 13th August, first tee time 12.30. If we win this match, the semi and final rounds are to be played at Wilmslow G.C. on the 3rd of September. The semi final will be played in the morning, followed by the Final in the afternoon.

Good luck Alderley Ladies

During the year the winners of certain competitions go through to Area Finals and for some Grand Finals.

In June Celia Berent represented Alderley in the 2020 delayed final of the Bunty Booth Competition at Hazel Grove Golf Club.

Later in June, Lisa Burns had a very enjoyable day out at Ringway Golf Club playing in the Medal Momento Finals.

Last week, Fiona Anderson and Jo Pratt who were winners of the Coronation Foursomes competition played at Crewe. Despite torrential rain during the day and the competition being stopped for an hour, Fiona and Jo scored a fabulous 40 points and came 4th out of a field of more than 40 teams.

Alison Roberts and Gwyn Holt are waiting to see if they qualify for the Ping 4BBB Finals to be played in September.

Well done to everyone who has played in these competitions.

July match reports

B Team 05/07

June Match reports

9 hole league 04/06

AEGC played Hazelgrove in the 9 hole league and narrowly lost by 3 points.
Alison Roberts played with Claire Roberts, Liz Gardner played with Mary O’Toole and Mo Monk played with LP Yvonne Grundy.
The weather was fantastic and the course very interesting. All the matches were enjoyable and a good time had by all

Business Ladies 06/06

The BL team met High Legh for an away match. The beautiful weather lead to a flurry of discussion about team colours  The summer option of white shorts was discussed and discarded, maybe next week?? The course was in very good condition and the AEGC ladies won 2 games and lost one. Over all win for AEGC.

Business Ladies 13/06

The BL team played a home match v Tytherington in perfect conditions, beautiful wather and course in fab condition  The match was lost 2-1, it might have been a different story if a Tytherington player hadn’t chipped in from half way to the car park for a birdie, to win the hole and therefore the match  It was a brilliant shot though!

B Team 14/06

Unfortunately this match got off to a difficult start. The B team were away to Chorlton and due to a misunderstanding of the tee times between the match secretaries, AEGC were considered to have arrived too late for the first game to go ahead. Undaunted, fired up the team rose to the challenge and beat the home side 4 games to 3

Business Ladies 19/06

The BL team played their away match at Alsager, it was their 3^rd weekend match in succession and the second in a week as this was played on a Saturday, the conditions were great and the team enjoyed the course. Each game was close, but unfortunately all three games went to the home side.

20/06 Bell Cup

AEGC were drawn at home for the second round of the Bell Cup and welcomed Manchester Hopwood. The ladies very well, seemingly undaunted facing a team of low handicappers and wone the match by 6 games to 1. It was good to welcome back to the team Sue K, who had been injured at the start of the season. Great win Ladies

The weather was not as we wanted for Lady Captain's Day but there were some breaks in the rain to allow those taking part to dry off.The balls were not running and the greens did have some puddles at times but everyone soldiered on.

Congratulations to:

1st place - Carol Wallace

Runner up - Debbie Law

9 Hole winner - Liz McGuire

Nearest the pin on the 6th and 13th  - Janette Smith

Thank you to all those who took part and turned up for the presentation in the evening.
