Lady Captain's Report

Well what a difference in the weather as I write this report the sun is shining and no rain forecast. Golf now is beginning to pick up and the courses starting to dry out. Even getting a bit of roll on the ball. The Valentine fun comp as mentioned in the last report was eventually played a week later and many thanks to everyone who took part. I managed to raise £72 for my charity. The Cecil Leitch 5 club was played over the Tuesday and Saturday with out any delays and 35 ladies took part. Many thanks to all the Ladies that supported this competition . The winner of this event goes thought to the final later on in the year and represents the club. This year the final is at Parkwood and for the second year running the winner is Debbie Conder. Debbie won with 32pts on count back from Helen Venis and Leslie Shott.

This year my Vice captain Georgina has set me a series of challenges (please see the notice board for details) The first challenge was to climb the O2 dome and yesterday (Sunday 9^th march) I along with 8 other ladies (and Lee Venus) set out to complete this task. After playing 18 holes of golf we all set of for Greenwich. Georgina had organised the weather and the sun was shining. We had our obligatory health and safety briefing and proceeded to harness up in readiness. By this stage there were a few worried faces. Joe our guide set us on our way and before we knew it we had completed the ascent. What amazing views from the top with the sun just setting over the London Skyline. There were a lot of photo’s being taken and we hope to have some on the blog very soon. The decent was a little more nerve wracking but we all got down in one piece. My BIG thanks to Georgina for organising this challenge and to the other Ladies a BIG well done for completing it. I have to single out two ladies that overcame there fear of heights in order to support me on the day. To Caroline and Gill you were truly awesome. Very well done to you both, we are all so proud of you. Bring on the next challenge. Just before we completed this challenge we sent round the charity box at the golf club and I have to say the men were most generous in their donations. Many thanks guys. I will let you know how much money we raised.

Looking ahead in March we have the first of two Ladies v Vet matches. Come on Ladies we need to defend our title, also at the end of the month the Coronation 4 some’s. We have our first mixed comp early in April. This replaces the Douglas Bader charity event that this year is not being staged. Please sign up if you would like to take part. We can even find you a man!!

We are continually adding to the blog and more and more information is available on it. Please if you haven’t been able to access this yet, speak with a member of the committee. The information boards will still be updated as normal.

Let’s hope the sun continues to shine and we can start to enjoy and play some great golf.

 

Best Wishes Jane.
