Thanks go to Lydia Doherty as usual for her help in arranging the day.

The winners were Lee & Georgina Venus with runners up on countback Gina Wilson and Steve Macintosh - both with 46 points.  In third place with 44 points was Sally Payne and Mark Miller.

Nearest the pin on hole 3 was Jane Woodward and on hole 9 Steve Macintosh.

Well done everyone, another cracking day had by all with some really good scores all round.

Lady Captain's Report

Well Spring is definitely here and we also had the March winds!!!  The diary is now starting to get busy so please keep watching the sign-up boards and our blog.

A lot has happened in March.  We had our first mixed event the very popular Yard of String and it was a great turn out with 20 couples all with their scissors and off we went.

The result was a staggering 49 points for Mark Miller and Sally Payne.  As Eric Doherty was celebrating his 50th birthday at the end of March Lydia very kindly enhanced the winnings and also gave a sleeve of balls and a pack of tees to all the winners.  Very kind thank you Lydia and a very happy birthday to Eric.

It was Julie Harris’ birthday on the day and we all sang happy birthday to her – and it was also Malcolm’s birthday but he was at the Vet’s dinner.  A lovely day was had by all!

Well done to the Pearson and Tappin Teams who both go through to the next round – great result girls!

We also played the Coronation Foursomes external competition and the winners on count back with 34 points to Molly Ball and Sharon Taylor were Elaine Katter and Toni Twort.  We wish them the best of luck at Faversham on August 11th.  Well done to Kim and Gina for organising so well.

A group of us went to Spadework on Tuesday 28th March when Malcolm and Lisa presented them with their cheque for over £24,000!!!  They are so grateful and were blown away with the amount raised.  What a fantastic amount of money and a very humbling experience.  Well done Malcolm & Lisa it was a great result.

On Thursday 30th March ten ladies took on the Vets.  This was played on the Hurricane course and what can I say?!  They decided to play off the yellow tees and wanted to change the tee times as well.  I was very proud of us ladies because we just went with the flow and the weather was beautiful!!  The result was 7-2 to the Vets.  They even said they ALWAYS win in the Spring – well let’s get our own back in the Autumn then!!

The Rosebowl was played on Tuesday 4th April and Saturday 8th April.

On Sunday 9th we played the Elizabeth Budd trophy which is a medal competition off the blocks for winners of comps from the last couple of years.  It was a fantastic sunny day and although a really tough competition it is one of my favourites.  This was won by Lisa Kiddie so well done to her.  Julie Harris sponsors this competition so sincere thanks to her once again.

The bluebells are out and I know we are all looking forward to playing lots of golf in the sunshine!

Much Love Gill
