Lady Captain's Report September

Well ladies August was a very busy month for me with my sister over for a few weeks,
it was lovely having her here but the golf events went on.  We had the Topsy Turvey
which is always good fun. A few ladies actually said they played better off the men's tee.
Then we had my away day at the Weald of kent, it was a beautiful but very,
very hot day. I hope all the ladies enjoyed it. The club was very accommodating and I thought
the food was very good.

The Archer 5 was played, which unfortunately I could not be there, that was followed by our overnighter.  I had a pre overnighter with Lisa ,Georgina and Molly we played golf at Toot Hill then later that evening we had dinner at  Felix Warley, I had a great time in Essex and discovered that it's not all about white stilettoes, it's actually really nice. We then arrived at the Five Lakes on the Sunday which was a great success thanks to Jill Gamblings organization. Although we didnt get the 36 ladies we were hoping for 32 turn out just perfect. It was ashame that it ended with rain but we
 did get to play 9 holes in the rain. I must say I was a bit nervous when I heard Jane was orgainzing the games but was pleasantly surpise to find the games were quite calm.  having said that, there were
a couple of injuries on the night one which was to Jane, who would have thought a balloon game
could be dangerous.

The Ryder cup was played on Sunday the 15th it was a one day event this year, Americans v
Europeans we split the competition into two sections first nine holes was pairs better ball and the back 9  was singles match play. I believe a good time was had by all. The competitions was won by the Europeans so I wasn't very happy.

Then we had the Autumn Meeting, cant believe how quickly that's arrived. We had a glorious
day, lovely food and winners coming in with great scores. Toni having taken the summer off
to perfect her golf won with 40pts and one of our new ladies Ginny Goodworth won the front 9 with
22 points. Well done to all our winner but its nice to see new faces winning prizes.
We made about £197 on the raffle. Thank you to all the ladies for your support and donation
of prizes. Thanks to Kim and Debbie for setting up the competition.

Don't know if anyone noticed that we have our colour flags back a pleasant welcome.

There are still quite a few competitions coming up so please make sure you don't miss out
It just takes a visit to the changing room signup.
Dont forget to book your tables for the quiz night on the 11th of Oct. at the reception.

Hope your all enjoying the golf as we still have the dry weather.
