Lady Captains Report

Ladies - So much information to get through!

Quiz Night – Friday 13th May
What a great evening! A fabulous turn out: 12 tables of 6 in a team.   Sausage and chips on the menu.

Thank you very much for your generous donations of bottles and balls – the raffle raised £175.00.  It takes a lot of time and effort to pull off this event – Thank you once again, Jeanette and Bernie for hosting the night.  Lovely unique way you both contribute to the Lady Captains Charity every year and it is very much appreciated.   Looking forward to the next one on Friday 14th October.

‘2 Captains Challenge’
Malcolm and I also had our first ‘2 captains challenge’ of the season.  Rob and Debbie Satchell.  It was a fun afternoon of golf – Debbie and Rob gave us a good run for their money – we finished our match on the 17th.  Thank you both for a fun afternoon!

The sign up sheet is on the Captains Notice Board by the Pro Shop if you are thinking of joining us for a game and the vacancies are filling up fast.

Team Texas Scramble
Bank Holiday Monday 30th May was the Captain’s Team Texas Scramble a well supported event with 28 4 balls taking part.   Congratulations to the winners:  Andrew Upson, Terry Shearman, Den Hughes and James Spearing.

All credit to our Club Captain Malcolm Roberts for the smooth running of the day – the Ladies Section organised the raffle so all together we raised over £1,300 for Spadework.

Looking Ahead
I am now over half way through my Captains year and thoroughly enjoying the experience – we have raised a combined total of over £4,000 so far for our chosen charity.   I really appreciate the support the Ladies Section has shown over the past 6 months.  I am looking forward to all of the events we have lined up for the next 6 months too.

Jane Woodward our Handicap Secretary has been busy training a few committee members on how to input competition cards and we now have a small team able to shadow Jane and Diana Scott going forward.  Thank you Jane for implementing the training.

New Lady Members – we do have approximately 10 newish lady members in our section that have joined over the past year.  I have sent out an email inviting them to join us for a round of golf on Saturday 2nd July.  Most of us know how daunting it can be when you first start and it would be great if we can integrate some, if not all of these ladies into joining us regularly.

Friday 8th July (From 4:00 pm) Captains 9 and Dine – Malcolm and I would like to invite all available members to join us for this new competition.  Full information is already on the blog - (see below) - and the sign-up sheet is on the notice board by the men's changing room.  Pay in the office when you sign up.

72 hole golf challenge – in one day!!!  WM Breakfast Club Society – As some of you know my husband Colin plays at West Malling with a group known as ‘The Breakfast Club Society’ - 9 members of this group have volunteered to complete 72 holes in one day for the Captains Charity.

This will kick off at 04:30 on Saturday 2nd July on the Hurricane – They will be out in 3 balls wearing their team shirts so please wish them well along the way if you spot them!!!

There is a web page set up directly to Spadework for this event and all the details and how to sponsor this exhausting challenge!: http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fund/72holechallenge

Wishing them all the best of luck!!!

Captains Day – Sunday 10th July – Joint day with our Club Captain - although ladies will be going out as 3 balls as a drawn competition we will be integrated amongst the men but not playing with them.

Our Sign-up sheet is on the notice board upstairs in the changing room.

Intersociety change of date  - Saturday 24th July.  Sign-up sheet outside the pro shop.  Ladies are one team so if you’re free sign up and help us win!!!
