Committee Cup

the Committee held their annual fun competition last Sunday with all 9 members able to play. Although slightly drizzly at the start of play the weather perked up and so did Jane Woodwards' play!!! Most of the ladies scrambled 20+ points but Jane was on top form and won with a mega 38 points.
 Agreed she was helped along the way by Pat West and Carol Eldridge!!
We celebrated with a Roast Dinner at the club house and one glass ( or more for those not driving) of Prosecco.
Well done Jane- you did your h'cap proud

happy golfing everyone

Men vs ladies - mixed charity day 11 October

Ladies 

With our pairings ready all we needed to know was who we were playing - so on a first come, first served basis the matches were drawn on Sunday morning along with the tee for a shotgun start. 

Phew! 

Gill was amazing collecting the money whilst I kept up with knowing who played who as well as answering 101 questions and Lisa and Donna sold raffle tickets - team effort!! 

We paid the bill for the carvery and everyone headed for the tee.....

We had 14 matches which included Malcolm and Steve playing for the ladies so I renamed them Mel and Stephanie for Sunday only. The banter on the course was great and most groups  could be heard laughing throughout the morning. 

We had a well deserved lunch which was enjoyed by all and as always the staff were terrific. 

I asked Joe to announce the result which for the first time in the  4 times we have played was a ladies victory. Well done us ! We made lots of noise in the dining room to celebrate the victory. 

And now it was time for the fines......
Misdemeanours & stories from throughout the year and from the matches on the day had been carefully collated by Joe who had great pleasure in sharing and making people pay. Even the guests
 got fined, some just by association!  Our fine collectors did a great job running round the room and
 keeping up with what was going on - thank you Lisa and Malcolm.

The biggest thanks go to everyone who took part by entering into the spirit of a day which began in 2012 when Caroline was our lady captain and which has grown to be a part of our mixed calendar. Generosity from everyone is astounding and certainly never ceases to amaze me. 

From donations of fines, raffle and auction prizes along with entry we raised a staggering £1700 just in one day. 

Most of you are aware that I added another charity to support this year back in January,  mainly, for the Bike ride so the proceeds of the day will be split equally between Darent valley diabetes centre and the Maidstone hospital oncology unit. I know both will be more than grateful.

As I sign off all I can say is your support is amazing and it would not happen without Joe who does a fab job with the support of Julie who tries to stay in the background.

Biggest hugs

Quiz nite Friday 16 October

The questions are all prepared but are we?? Only time will tell....

Also, if anyone is looking for one more to join a team then I know someone looking to attend on Friday. 

Look forward to seeing you there.

Lady captain vs lady vice captain 6th & 10th October

Another new event in our calendar took place last week. This replaces Secretary vs Lady Captain.

Lisa and I thought we would have a bit of fun and our line up was Europe vs USA (like the Solheim!) by virtue of the ball markers which were a lucky dip on the day.

It was all to play for !! - the winning team on each day got a sharpie pen.

Lisa had chosen Europe for Tuesday. So game on ....

The ladies braved a very wet morning and called it a day after 9 holes. Unfortunately, due to work I had to miss out on the fun but I hear there was plenty of banter throughout the morning. I had to rely on my team!

Winners were Europe so it was 1 nil to Lisa.

Saturday came around and 14 ladies assembled on the tee -   ball markers were picked??!! (it was a bit disorganised as usual).  The weather was much kinder to the weekend ladies who played 18.

Lisa and I both played and drew our ball markers after the game.
Lisa again got Europe who where once again victorious. If only they had WMGC ladies playing in the real Solheim cup, perhaps it would have been a different result!!

Luckily we had no controversy.

My congratulations go to the winning ladies who hopefully put their sharpie pens to good use.

Very well done to Lisa. Hopefully something like this stays in the calendar - only time will tell!!

Ladies today we won the trophy back from the vets. It is back in the cabinet and ready to be engraved. 

We played 7 matches on the spitfire and won 4 to 3 in the autumn sunshine. Our opponents were true gentlemen as ever and the banter was colourful to say the least. 

My thanks go to everyone who played but special mention to the ladies that stepped in at the last minute to ensure we fielded a full team. Shirley, Sue and Jean - I appreciated your support. 

Well done to the team!
