Ladies Noticeboard

Dear Ladies,

The 2020 Closing Sides was played in beautiful autumn weather, on a relatively dry course and resulted in a draw. 3:2 for the Lady President's team playing Greensomes over 18 holes, a win for the Lady Captain's team in the Single match play while the 9 hole Greensomes match was a very friendly all square. A very fitting result for the end of this golfing year where very little match play has taken place. Well played to all the ladies and both I and Lady President thank you for taking part.

It is usual to make several announcements after Closing Sides at the social gathering but as this could not take place this year, the announcements are by e mail.

Firstly to catch up on results of previous club competitions that have not already been announced and to congratulate the winners.

This event is not normally played in autumn conditions but the cooler weather did not deter many.

This competition was held on Tuesday 8th September and was well supported with 25 ladies playing in the Stableford Competition.

The day started in light rain and wet conditions but it was not long before the sun shone and the temperature rose to summertime temperatures. The course however remained wet and played long but this did not stop the winner Julie Ricketts coming in with an impressive 38 points.

Barbara Evans was second with 35 points and Jo McGregor third after a cpo with Liz Gardner on 33 points.

The winner of the 9 hole Stableford Competition was Liz McGuire.

Mr President arranged a nearest the pin competition on the 4th and 15th holes. The ladies went out armed with individual tape measures to comply with the current restrictions. Jo Pratt was nearest the pin on the 4th and LC on the 15th.

Our thanks go to Mr President for the enjoyable day plus the refreshing drink and very welcome chocolates at the halfway house.

The annual ladies away day picnic was cancelled earlier in the year due to Covid restrictions. Not to be thwarted though the decision was made to hold the away day at home.

Unfortunately rain stopped golf play but 30 ladies still managed to enjoy a lovely socially distanced glass of Pimms and a picnic lunch.

Thank you

Karen
