Ladies V Pegasus.................................. 28th September

This was a new match set up this year. There was a great turn out with nine pairs matches playing.

Well done to the Ladies who managed to beat the Pegasus Guys 5-3!

There was a lovely surprise when Bob Appleby produced a wonderful plate trophy that Pegasus had purchased, so its great to have this in the Ladies calendar as an annual event. We will be the first to engrave it too!!

Again there were some great matches and banter and the day was enjoyed by all.

Thank you Ladies you did the Ladies Section proud!!

Pairings for Ladies V Joe's Group

Lady Captain's Away Day

I arrived at the Tudor Park around 08:15 following a bit of a slow exit off of junction 8of the M20! I had noted the 50 mph signs a few yards back and was just praying that I would be able to get off when I needed to!

Lydia had arrived early so we had breakfast together. I was met by a really helpful Lady who basically took a hold of all my worries for the day and I at last felt at ease.

Our Ladies began to arrive and how wonderful to see 33 of our section take part in the day. I handed out a goody bag and informed the Ladies of the format for the day. There was a very relaxed feel as the Ladies chatted over morning coffee or tea.

At 10:20 the first group set off followed by the ten other groups. The sun was shining but maybe a little humid, alas it was a beautiful day!

On the second tee the Ladies found the bucket full of cans of Pimms on ice and I gather this went down well as lots of you commented on it after your game!!

I got to play with Sadie Millgate and Diana Scott and really enjoyed our round together. The greens were a little speedy but all in all the course was not too bad bearing in mind the amount of dry weather we have had.

After golf we all sat and enjoyed our meal and again it was really lovely to hear the Ladies chatting and enjoying the atmosphere.
There were some great scores in and they went as follows:

Nearest the Pin - Rena Jones
Longest Drive - Caroline Harrison
Mystery Prize - Margaret Barnard - (Secret Holes - top scorer)
Best Team - Lydia Doherty, Carol Eldridge & Denise Farley

Bronze Division
1st - Pat West  - 41 points
2nd - Lesley Shott - 39 points
3rd - Stella Pitt - 36 points o/c

Silver Division
1st - Viv Allen - 39 points
2nd - Joyce Paterson - 36 points
3rd - Lydia Doherty - 35 points o/c

Well played to our winners on the day you are all stars, there were some great scores on the day.

My thanks to Lydia, Caroline and Lisa for their assistance on the day!

Ladies I would like to say a heartfelt thank you for joining me on the day and for making it a truly memorable one.

Best Wishes

This is a shot gun starting at 08:30am! The only tees being used for us over the road is the 7th (Carrie & Sue Gofton) & 13th (Sadie & Shirley) so not too far to walk, and hopefully that will help you decide whether you will walk or drive!

There is no food after the match but you can order your own if you so wish.

There will be the usual after match banter & fines with a chance to win a Four Ball and a nearest the pin on 18th for both men and Ladies.

Look forward to seeing you there and thank you sooooo much for taking part and supporting the day.

Mixed Tunisian Results 1st September

Another successful mixed competition with 18 couples taking part which was very good considering a lot of the regulars were on holiday. The results were as follows:

1st Jane Woodward and Roger Woodhams 45 pts
2nd Lydia and Eric Doherty 43 pts
3rd Pat West and Tony Hall 40 pts

Jane Woodward practiced her lady captain skills by standing in for Debbie who was unable to make today and I would like to thank Jane for her support on the day. Also big thanks to Gill for helping with the organisation.

Don't forget we have two more mixed comps this month. The Friendship Cup on the 15th Sept and the mixed Team Event on the 29th Sept. Please sign up for these if you are interested in playing - I will be looking to do the draw for the Friendship Cup at the end of this week.

Bradley Cook Parallel Plate Semi Final

Unfortunately the mountain we had to climb today proved to be a little too high. We were beaten by Redlibbets and that, for this year anyway is the end of West Malling's run in the Bradley Cook competition.
Sue, Lydia, Jane, Kelly, Helen V, Debbie T, Debbie C, Caroline and Jill represented West Malling in the Scratch Team and got through to the semi finals. Jane and Helen, I am sure are both grateful to have had the opportunity to gain experience in public speaking in preparation for their roles next year. West Malling has a strong pool of relatively low handicap players now and under Helen's leadership next year will surely do even better in 2014.

Bradley Cook Parallel Plate Semi Final Away Match

West Malling took a small pasting at Redlibbets on Sunday in the away match of the Parallel Plate Semi Final. We achieved one good win, two close losses and two not so close losses. We need to win 5 nil or have 4 good wins on Friday in the home match to secure our place in the final. We have a strong line up with Sue, Debbie T, Helen V, Debbie C and Caroline and they will give it a good go. Supporters on Friday at 2pm will be very welcome. Dig in Team!

Goff's Inter Society Challenge!

Sunday 25th August - Goffs Inter Society Challenge Competition.

Today we had 7 pairs of ladies who took part in the above challenge. There was a 'shot gun' starton the Hurricane and yours truly together with my trusty partner Lisa Kiddie were drawn on the 12th tee, so we had a long walk before we even started!

Each pair of Ladies was drawn with other pairings from the various scoieties within the club, eg, Merlins, Raiders, Yellow Perils, Toots, Breakfast Club and a couple of others.

Well I am delighted to inform you that the Ladies came 3rd with an average of  34.8 close to 2nd The Merlins and 1st was the Toots!!!!
Congratulations all those that played you all put the Ladies Section on the map!!!!

From a Very Proud Lady Captain!!!!
