It’s the end of
June which means it is the Masters’ competition. Our ladies section again showed up in good
numbers and we all entered into it with great spirit. .Jill Gambling yet again
played so well and although not recognised by the Club she is our ‘Masters’
champion – so very well done Jill.
We then had the
Mid-Week Trophy competition with a great turnout on a beautiful sunny day. I promise I will remember to get the trophy
before I start the presentations from now on!!
Next came the
Mid-Season Pairs and again a very popular competition with another great
turnout and still sunny. Julie and I defended our title from last year and were
the very proud winners – which was just as well as we forgot to bring the
trophy back!!
Our Ladies
Invitation Day is a chance to show off our club to non-members. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend but
Jill did the most excellent job of ensuring everyone had a great day.
We have played
two Friendlies at home and these were Canterbury and Woodlands. Thank you to all who play in these matches as
they are really fun. The next match will
be away to Kings Hill.
For Captains
Day the ladies went off on the Hurricane and it was a great day. I absolutely loved the whole day with
everyone having the best time playing golf in the sunshine. Sara and I were in the mobile half-way house
and yes the Pimms passed the Lynne Skelton test – and the sausage rolls and
baklava went down a storm!! We had
afternoon tea which was delicious and our presentation. Thank you to everyone for making this such a
great day. We than joined the men for
the raffle draw and Jill Gambling won 1st prize of the Motocaddy
Trolley and Battery and the ladies section did well winning other prizes
too. We raised £2,240 on the day and again
I am blown away with the generosity – thank you all.
Sunday 16th
July and we drive to Headcorn to see Donna’s skydive. But after her training the weather turned cloudy
and she wasn’t allowed to jump!! This
has now been rebooked for Sunday 3rd September. She has raised over £1,000 for our charity –
well done Donna and good luck.
We played our
match against Pegasus and this is always full of fun and banter. A great day was had by all and a massive
thanks to Bob for the excellent Halfway House!!
The weather changed and the last few groups were drenched. The result was a draw so we retained the
trophy – though when Bob took our team photo you would have thought we had
won!!!
The end of July
brings the club championship – a great two day competition that tests our
skills!! Thank you to Jill for putting
the flags on the blocks as this really does help. Jill is our ladies Champion so well done
to her – I think you are the champion of champions – Masters and Club
Championship great job!!
Looking forward
to our Ryder Cup weekend and yet again a great turn out for a two day event.
Don’t forget to
keep checking the Ladies (upstairs) and Joint (hallway) boards because there is
always so much going on and wouldn’t want you to miss out.
Till next
month, much love Gill
