Lady Captains Report – March 2013

Spring was supposed to have ‘sprung’ on the 20^th March however the cold weather has continued at sub zero temperatures and more snow!

March started with the Cecil Leitch 5-club comp on 5^th and 9^th, Judith will update you with the result in her report.

On the 21^st March the Ladies played against the Vets and unfortunately lost the match 5/2! The day was good fun and the match played in fine sporting manner. There was the usual post match banter  that the men’s tees were only  about five yards behind ours and that a couple of men’s handicaps were somewhat ‘generous’, however  I reluctantly presented Mike Cockle (the Vets Captain) with the trophy and said that he had better make the most as we will be looking to win it back in September! 

The Coronation Foursomes was played on the 26^th and 30^th and again Judith will update you with the result in her report.

Easter was early this year and was followed by my Easter Fun Competition. The weather was extremely cold again but the sun was at least shining! Some of the ladies had put their ‘BluePeter’ hats on and produced some amazing Easter Bonnets and I have put the photographs on the Ladies blog for all to see. The winners on Tuesday were:

Joyce Paterson, Eunice Tasker and Margaret Barnard with 69 points

2^nd place was Sue Gofton, Carol Martin and Lisa Kiddie with 67 points

Judy Kaye won the prize for the best Easter Bonnet.

Saturday’s weather was much improved and reflected in the scores. Again the Easter Bonnets were great!

Winners were Molly Ball, Sandra Alexander and Lesley Shott with 82 points

2^nd Place was Pat West, Georgina Venus and Debbie Conder with 77 points

There was no individual Easter Bonnet winner, but those that had made them were awarded a pack of golf balls.

The two comps raised £90.00 for my charity so I am extremely grateful to the Ladies for taking part.

Sunday 7^th April saw the first of our Mixed Competitions for this year being the Douglas Bader. This was well represented and a great social event. I won’t give you the results as Julie Harris will cover this in her report.

I am really looking forward to the Spring Meeting tomorrow (9^th April) and to meeting up with our ladies, the results of which will be discussed at our next meeting.
