IMPORTANT DATE CHANGE.

Joe Harris has very kindly agreed to run a fun charity day to boost my funds this year. If you haven't been to one of Joe's events before you truly don't want to miss it.

The idea is that we will have a shotgun start with our Ladies team taking on Joe's raiders. Then a carvery Sunday lunch and then the fun begins in the afternoon. In order for this to happen we have to change some dates around. Therefore Joe's charity day will take place on Sunday the 14th of September and the Mixed friendship cup will now take place on Sunday the 31st August. Please put these dates in your calendar.

LADIES v MERLINS MATCH. SATURDAY 14TH JUNE.

If you would like to play in the above fun match please sign up in the Ladies changing rooms. More details to follow.

LADIES YOUR CAPTAIN NEEDS YOU.

 

Just a reminder to all you Ladies that haven't signed up for Lady Captains Day. Please sign up with the office. The intension is that we will play the Hurricane and the Men play the Spitfire with a shotgun start. How ever if we don't get enough ladies to play. The club won't allow us a shotgun. So its up to you. Please spread the word and encourage as many ladies to take part. It will be a fun day.

Bradley Cook Result

Redlibbetts came to West Malling on Sunday.  We excelled on our own course again winning 3-2.  Sue & Jane met two youngsters and both lost - although Jane took it down the 20th.  Helen had a walkover due to an injured opponent who retired half way round but the 10-8 score gives us valuable points.  Lydia won 5&4 - the dreaded 14th seeing off another visitor! and Donna held off a late charge to win 2&1.
Redlibbetts away next week - a win will see us guaranteed a place in the next round (will it be the plate? or the cup?)
Well done every one!!!!!
Helen

Friendly Report - May 2014

The season has kicked off and we have already played two away games....

Tudor Park - team victorious! 
Sue Stickland led the team out and we were victors at Tudor Park by 3&1 despite the weather being wet and Sue hurt her ankle but soldiered on to ensure a team win. Food was delicious I have been told. 
Thanks and congratulations go to the team. 

Nizels - a marginal defeat! 
At Nizels the team battled hard but unfortunately lost the overall match by 2 and a half & 1 and a half.

 It was a hot sticky day and we were treated to great company at this new fixture and  yummy food afterwards. Thanks go to the team and we look forward to welcoming the Nizel ladies to West Malling in 2015. 

Our next friendly
Our next match is against Weald of Kent at home on 28 May- wishing Shirley and the team good luck.

Bradley Cook Result

Yesterday we played Mid Kent away.  They were very strong on their own course and we lost 5-0.  However, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that we beat them at home.  We have another home match next week v Redlibbets and I am sure the team will bounce back from this defeat and show Redlibbets how brilliant we are on our own course!

LADY CAPTAINS DAY.

 

There seems to be some confusion over the format for Lady Captains day. As in previous years this is an individual event. This year being played on the Hurricane course shotgun start, men playing on the Spitfire.. The cost is £10 per person, tickets to be purchased from the office. This entry includes entrance fee and a hog roast after the golf. In order for us to have a shotgun we need to sell as many tickets as possible so please Ladies purchase yours ASAP. Various activities have been arranged for after the golf so friends and families are most welcome to join in the fun. Please watch the blog for more details .
