The Ladies took on the Vets on the 17th March.
This Spring Meeting is always a tough match for us as the tee positions are
advantageous to our opponents, although we do get our own back in the Autumn! We were one lady down that morning due to illness and the
Vets very kindly offered us one of their men to play for us. Claude – what can I say, we were very
thankful to him for stepping up. We renamed our new recruit Claudia and he made
a fair point to Vets Captain Joe, that he should play off the red tees and get
2 extra shots as per all the other ladies. Alas, to no avail.
However, Pat West and Claude won their match fair and square as did Diana
and Rena and two games were halved. The
outcome was a loss to the ladies 5-3. We
had a lovely day and there is a photo on the Vets website (wmgc Vets) of me
presenting a very happy Joe Gabay with the trophy!
We had two Easter fun ‘Precious Pinkies’ Drawn competitions
going out in 3 Balls. Precious was the
word – the pressure not to lose the pink ball was intense – My two playing
partners shouted with glee when it was I that hit ‘precious pinkie’ into the
water on the 5th on the Tuesday!!!
Tuesday 22nd March was perfect weather with a
turnout of 15 ladies:
1st place Lindsay
Hart, Gill Harman, Carol Eldridge 85 points
2nd place Pat
West, Sheila Reay, Jennie Aldridge 74 points
Nearest the pin: 7th

We raised £107.00 for the Spadework charity. Thank you very much for your support.
Things are really starting to get busy. In the past month we have also had Coronation
Foursomes, Mixed Yard of String, Rosebowl and the Elizabeth Budd
We held our Spring Meeting on Tuesday. This is a well
supported event, with 40 ladies staying for lunch. The Sun came out for us! I will leave the announcement of the winners to our
Competition Secretary. However, well done to Eunice Tasker and Pam Honeybone
winners of the Spring Quiz. Obviously
very keen gardeners. Thanks to Julie
Harris for putting the quiz together – it challenged us all!
We had 6 of our Swinging 60’s taking part in the Daffodil
Competition. We would love a bigger take up – so please if you are at least 70
years young, then do sign up for ‘Harvest Gold’ in the Autumn Meeting.
I am really looking forward to the next month starting off
on Thursday with our first ‘friendly’ against Westerham at home and on the same
day the Pearson Team will be playing away against Shortlands – good luck West
Malling!
I have been into Spadework this week and they are very much
looking forward to welcoming us for the Afternoon Tea on Saturday 16th
and Tuesday 19th. If there
are any ladies that would like to put their names down – friends and family are
also welcome, please speak to either Rena or myself as there are still a few
places left. Come and join me for a glass of prosecco – my treat!
The list of available dates for the Two Captain’s Challenge
is now up on the notice board by the Pro Shop. Malcolm and I look forward to
challenging members to a round of golf in aid of the charity. So if you are
willing to take on a couple of competitive ‘lefties’ please pick a date and
sign up!
I am so pleased and grateful that Jeannette and Bernie have
agreed to run the Quiz night on Friday 13th May – details will be
available by the end of this week. In
the meantime get your team of 6 organised and start swatting up.
The sign up sheet for the May Bank Holiday Texas Scramble on
the 30th is up near the Pro shop – don’t forget to get your team
name sorted and join in.
On a personal note, I would like to say a big thank you for
all your good wishes, cards and gifts presented to me for my 50th
Birthday last week. I am completely
overwhelmed and loved every minute of it!
Happy Golfing Ladies
Lisa Kiddie
Lady Captain
