LADY CAPTAIN’S UPDATE

The weather is now really picking up, the course is in great condition hence the golf conditions generally are on the up.

We wish a warm welcome to the new members of the Ladies section who have just graduated from Steve’s group and are attaining handicaps, and a sad goodbye to Steve, who has been the reason many of us joined the club. We wish him all the very best at Woodbridge, and are delighted that he will make time once a week for a couple of months to continue some coaching.

Congratulations

To our Pearson team for getting to the quarterfinals, having won the first round against 4 other clubs. This match was played in 2 legs –we played away against Brickenden Grange on May 5th where we Brickenden won 5 games to 2. At the home match on May 16th Brickenden won 4 games to our 3. Sadly this is where our journey ends, but a great effort nonetheless!

The quarter-final squad consisted of: Captain Sue Hickman-Jameson, Sam Daniels, Sally Burrowes, Bernie Marcus, Annette Brooks, Pauline Byrne, Lorraine Hull, Lin Taylor, Sheryl Tye and Lisa Taylor, and in the 1st round were joined by Anne Williams, Shirley Deudon, Mary Bromfield, Nicky Holmes, Di Ritson-Hall, Debbie Goldthorpe and Paula Craddock.

We are through to the second round of the Annodata Knockout Competition. Wish us luck for the forthcoming match against Aldwickbury on Sat May 27th!

The winners were:

1st prize - £40 to Catherine Kay

2nd prize - £25 to Matt Perry

3rd prize - £15 to Jon Barber.

Congratulations to the winners and thank you for taking part in the draw!
