LADY CAPTAINS UPDATE – August/September

Hi Ladies,

I do hope you are all keeping safe and well. Golf is now in full swing and we have caught up with most of the competitions due to so many being postponed earlier in the year.

We had a very successful FUN lady captain’s day which was enjoyed by those that attended, unfortunately I was relegated to driving around in a buggy serving refreshments. My thanks go to Debbie Satchell and Kathy Smith who manned the halfway house.

The ladies open was arranged by Judith (Vice Captain) this year and though we had reduced entries it was agreed it had been a successful event. The format was changed this year, but all teams had a good day. We were very lucky that the Covid restrictions were changed in time to allow a sit down meal which everyone enjoyed and a little normality returned. I would like to thank all the ladies that gave up their time to help on the day, without you it would not have run smoothly.

We have been lucky to have been able to play some of the friendly matches this year home and away so if you want to join in these please keep checking the IG as this is where you can sign up for these. It’s a great way to play other courses and meet new ladies.

I chose Westerham Golf Club for My Captains away day and what a fabulous day this was, once again I decided to make it a 3 ball team FUN event. We all enjoyed the day, the course was in brilliant condition, the sun shone, and the hospitality of the Staff and pro shop was 2^nd to none. A special day and long awaited for us all.

The belated Pegasus (Mens) friendly was played on Saturday 28^th August and though the ladies put up a good fight we lost, but it was a very close game. Thank you, Bob, for an excellent day. I have stressed the fact that he is only looking after the shield for one year!!!!

The mixed away day was played at Boughton Golf Club, another event that had been postponed. The weather was a little miserable but did not stop the pairs enjoying the day, there were some brilliant scores (made better by Mulligans) the course was in good condition and the food was excellent. Thank you, Lydia, for making the arrangements.

On the 5^th & 6^th September we had our long-awaited overnighter at Old Thorns Golf Club, all the ladies took a Covid test before arriving at the venue to safe guard their room mates. The weather was hot, hot, hot, the course was outstanding though demanding, all in all a great weekend. Thank you, Diana for arranging this.

We have the Autumn meeting on Tuesday the 21^st September and for the first time since 2019 we will be able to celebrate with a sit down meal altogether. I think everyone is looking forward to some normality. A change of clothes is not essential for this day.

On Sunday the 3^rd of October there is a Texas Scramble with teams of 4 at £10 pp this includes coffee and bacon roll before the start of play and a raffle for the Captains Charity.

I am pleased to also announce that Jeannette has agreed to be our Quiz master on Friday the 8^th October, this will include sausage and chips at a cost of £8.50 pp on tables of 6 (max) So come on let’s get buying those tickets for a fun evening.

I so look forward to seeing you all soon,

Carol Lady Captain

Old Thorns

 Ladies we have received the following information from the hotel about the overnight stay.

It's just a couple of days until we welcome you to Old Thorns. Please find below some useful information about the resort and some top tips for making the most of your stay. See you very soon! Team Old Thorns Room Check-in Time: 3pm Room Check-out Time: 11am

Current regulations

It is great news that restrictions have eased, but with high case numbers in the country, and many of our guests and staff still awaiting their full vaccinations, we would greatly appreciate you following the safety measures we have in place.

Face Coverings We would appreciate it if you could continue to wear a face covering when moving around inside our resort, if having a spa treatment or when in confined spaces such as our Pro Shop. You may remove your mask in your room/apartment, when seated at a table in our bar/dining outlets and when in the gym or pool area. If you choose not to wear a mask, then please keep a safe distance from other guests and staff members.

Check-in At the entrance to each outlet you'll find an NHS QR code which you can scan with your mobile device. This is no longer mandatory, but will be in place for those wishing to use it. Old Thorns does not store or have access to this data; it goes directly to the NHS Test & Trace scheme. We recommend downloading the app prior to arrival if you do not already have it installed.

Social distancing There are no limits on the number of people that may be together indoors or outdoors, but we do recommend keeping socially distanced from those that are not in your party where possible. Please be respectful and considerate towards other guests and staff, as everyone will have different precautionary measures that they are following to help them feel safe.

Please note that it remains a legal requirement to self isolate should you contract Covid-19, be told to self-isolate by NHS Test & Trace or if you have returned from a country in the last 14 days that requires you to quarantine or self-isolate. If any of these circumstances applies to you, then you should not come to Old Thorns for any reason. Please contact our reservations team who can manage your booking: reservations@oldthorns.com
