Lady Captains Report August 2014.      

Well yet again another FUN packed month of golf, helped enormously by the great British summer.  Long may it continue. Last month saw yet again another two friendlies, a mixed flag, Club championship, Pro shop charity evening and the ladies challenge v the Pegasus boys. Reports from all the above can be viewed on the blog.

The Club championship is  a 36 hole medal competition played over the same weekend on both courses. This year we had the courses to ourselves which allowed us to relax and enjoy the end of the men’s competition. My thanks go to all the ladies that participated and supported this event. My congratulation go also to the prize winners and to our new ladies champion this year Donna Chuter. It’s nice to see a new name on the trophy. Well done Donna.

On the Monday night following the Club Championship the Pro shop boys ran there fun team charity event with all proceeds split between the Men’s and Ladies charities. A fun night was had by all. Great turn out from the Ladies and what a result two ladies teams walking off with first and second places.  Well done. A big thanks to Duncan and the boys for sponsoring this event. Final amount raised will be posted on the blog.

Last month was to see two of our inter club challenges being played unfortunately we had to postpone the Ladies v Wednesday boys match but that has now been moved to Wednesday the 20^th August. So I’m hoping that all the ladies that are giving up there Tuesday that week to help at the Ladies open will support this event. As ever sign-up sheets are in the usual place.

The second Ladies v Men’s challenge event verses the Pegasus boys took place last Saturday and what a great sporting event this turned out to be. As we were defending our title it was all to play for. Everybody entering into the spirit of the day and some great fun golf was played. Lots of banter, fun and laughter. Resulting in a very narrow win for the boys 5 ½ games to 4 ½ . It all game down to the last match and a valiant effort from Sally and Shirley, who’s superb putt on the 18^th resulted in the drawn match. Again a big thanks to Bob Appleby for arranging this comp and to Sally, Fenella and Martin aka Martina for standing in at the last minute.

This month we host out ladies Open and it’s our chance to welcome Ladies from other clubs to West Malling. We have had another great response this year and 31 teams will be transcending on us. A lot of hard work has already been put in to ensuring the day runs smoothly and I’m asking everyone to please support us on the day. We all benefit from this as a section. Even if you can only spare an hour or two ball spotting every little helps. Again please look at the notice boards for more details. As previously mentioned we do have the Wednesday boy’s match the next day so you won’t miss out on your golf.

As you will have noticed the work to the 1^st and 2^nd holes on the Spitfire has now commenced and all I ask is for your patience whilst this is being completed.

 

Good Luck with your golf in August.

 

Best Wishes Jane.
