Thanksgiving - Pictures

Don't forget to send any pictures you may have taken over the year to me for the slide show at Thanksgiving!! However, I don't really need any more from that Glow thing in the dark/park.. unless it's an exceptional close-up that you know only you have.
Email ideally to: jill@greenleafltd.net
Many thanks

Ladies v Vets

Today we played the Vets in our usual Autumn match.  All our ladies turned out in great form to support the ladies section and played their hearts out!  But we lost!  These things happen and next year we'll be back - so be afraid!!!  Well done to the Vets - and ladies I'm proud of you all!!

Gill

Quiz Night

Thank you everyone who supported the Quiz Night and as usual it was a fun evening.
Apart from enjoying ourselves so much we managed to raise £320 for our charities.
Thank you as always to those who brought bottles and balls for the raffle.
And a special thank you to Jeannette for still managing to give us another great night without her side kick Bernie who was too unwell to come along as he always has in the past.  We missed him being there and send our best wishes.  Thanks also to Sue, Jill and all those who helped the evening run so smoothly.

Much love Gill

Copper Beech - Result & Apologies

The result from October 8th (against the course) are as follows:

1st: Carol Martin - 3 up

2nd: Anne Smart - All Square

3rd: Donna Chuter - 1 down

Congratulations to all winners and participants.

Now for the apologies: The competition has been very kindly sponsored by Denise Farley, for some years now. As you all know, there'd be no prizes without generous sponsors, so on behalf of Gill and the rest of the ladies, I would like to thank you Denise for your sponsorship, and also apologise for not letting you know the results without being prompted by you. This was a massive oversight on our part.

Gill, Jill & Kim

Lady Captain's Report

Well what a busy month September was.  Tuesday 12^th was the Autumn meeting, one of my favourite days!  The weather was good and the turnout of 36 ladies was fantastic.  We all enjoyed the chicken and profiteroles and a great day was had by all.

We then had our match against the Merlins. They have been talking about beating us after last years result all year!! The banter in the bar for the live draw was priceless.  Ok so they beat us this year but the fun we had was brilliant and we are already talking about next year’s battle.

The next day we were off on our overnighter!!  27 of us went off to East Sussex National for a Sunday/Monday break – Sara we missed you!!  Sunday was played with your roomy so after a good breakfast off we went.  The course was really lovely and afterwards we all met in the bar for the next day ‘draw’.  We then went to our private dining room and had a great evening of good food and entertainment!  The ‘unique fact about yourself’ was so funny and thank you to Jill and Kim for the entertainment and a massive thank you to Lisa who organised the whole weekend so well.  I loved the courses and of course thank you everyone for making it such fun.

The results were as follows:

Day 1 -
Nearest the pin on the 8^th was Julie and on the 13^th was Elaine.
1^st Stella and Judith with 38 points
2^nd Sue and Helen with 38 points c/b
3^rd Jane and Lydia with 37 points c/b

Day 2 –

Nearest the pin on the 3^rd was Georgina and on the 16^th was Helen
1^st Stella and Georgina with 40 points
2^nd Elaine and Sara with 40 points
3^rd Pat and Lydia with 38 points c/b

The overall winner was Stella and the runner-up was Georgina.  So well done all!

Sunday 1^st October and it’s our big charity day organised by Joe and Julie Harris.  This is such an enjoyable day with men v ladies for a great competition.  The weather forecast was horrific but turned out quite ok in the end with slight drizzle but not enough to dampen our spirits.  Thank you Julie and Ken for providing the nearest the pins.  We then all went in for a carvery lunch which was lovely and the fun really began!!  Joe reminds us of our misdemeanors etc throughtout the year (beware when you see Mrs Harris with her purple book) and as usual the is hilarious.  I loved the fact that even though I thought the ladies had lost, when Joe announced the ladies had actually won we were all so excited and I cheered the loudest!!  - only to be told that as we always get the results wrong first time around he didn’t want to disappoint us – sooo funny but true.  We raised £1,205 and I was blown away once again with your generosity.

Thank you to Michael in the pro shop for the lesson he donated and was won by Julie.

Truly a wonderful day so thanks again Joe and Julie.

We had Captain v Secretary on Tuesday and Saturday at the beginning of October.  The captain won on Tuesday – on Saturday Pat and I couldn’t make it but were well represented by Jill and Kim – Secretary won on Saturday.  Again a great turn out for a fun competition.

 Wednesday 11^th and the ladies took on the Wednesday Boys – yes on a Wednesday – great banter but unfortunately we lost this match 4 & 2 – still another fun day!

Saturday 15^th October and the ladies took on the Breakfast Club.  This was our last inter society match and apparently we were a bit over excited when we beat them last year!!  So the banter began on the tee but the ladies were unlucky and lost 5 & 2.  Another great day but our very last match of the year v the men will be to take on the Vets on the Spitfire and we NEVER lose this match – so come on the Ladies we will need to dig deep!!

We are now looking forward to the quiz night on Friday 20^th October, the Captain’s Ball on 18^th November, our Thanksgiving evening on 23^rd November and the AGM on Sunday 26^th November.  So don’t forget to purchase your tickets from the office for the quiz and the ball and sign up for Thanksgiving in the changing room.

Much love - Gill

Copper Beach - note

Dear Peeps, something seems to have gone awry with the Spitfire online tee times for tomorrow. The block that the office had booked from 9.32 has seemingly gone(!) and several people have managed to book over our times.... we can't currently access it to do likewise. Kim has left a message at the club and will call them at 7am. Basically, turn up as planned but be prepared that there may be some hysterics and possibly a short wait. We hope it can easily be resolved and put back to how it was!
Thanks darlings for your patience with the club and new system....
