Lady Captains Report

September already!  I can’t believe where this year is going!

Last month was the first time we tried out the ‘West Malling Ryder Cup’.  This was a 2 day event that was supported by 40 golfers. The Club Captain Malcolm and myself took on the Vice Captains, Roy Allen and Gill Newson and divided players into the two teams.  It was great to see everybody getting into the spirit, even wearing their team colours and then roast baguettes and potatoes to round off the weekend while the results were worked out!

Congratulations to our Captains’ team on their winning performance and a gallant effort by the Vices' Team!  There were some close matches on the Sunday with a new format – 2 Ball Texas Scramble.

Tuesday 16^th August was The Ladies Open – we had a full house with 90 ladies descending on our club.

Congratulations Gill Newson for such a successful day.  You co-ordinated the whole event magnificently and the feed-back from our guests was so positive – very proud Lady Captain hearing what a great job we had done hosting the day.

The guests were in good spirits with team outfits and very imaginative names.  The ladies from Rochester and Cobham aka ‘The Ashley Roberts Fan Club” also had printed tee-shirts with Ashley’s face in a heart shape!! Our Pro Ashley looked horrified in a smiling sort of way.

However, this Open could not work without the volunteers from our ladies section and our husbands and friends that also gave up their time.  So thank you to everyone who took part and especially the ‘ball spotters’ - not always the most popular role – but definitely one of the most needed.

Thank you to our ladies who donated bottles and balls for the raffle – we achieved £302 for Spadework Charity.

My husband Colin and I managed to take a short break this month watching wild life in the bush in South Africa.  Then straight back for the Captains’ 9 and Dine on Friday 2^nd followed by the Mixed Topsy Turvey .... and just in case you didn’t hear ………… I GOT A HOLE IN ONE ……. on the 16^th green of the Spitfire!!!!!!

Suffice to say I really am having a fun year!!!  First one in our family to do it!!

The celebrations carried on to the following Tuesday when 22 ladies went to Nizels for the Lady Captain’s Away Day – this was a fun team competition and congratulation to:

1^st Place - Lindsay, Stella and Judith

2^nd place – Gill Newson, Pat and Diana

3^rd place – Helen Cornwall, Sue Gofton and Vivien Warren

Nearest the Pins were won by Lindsay Hart and Stella Pitt. This was followed by an Afternoon Tea. The Prosecco kept flowing – just in case some ladies missed the celebration on Sunday!

Thank you ladies for supporting this event.

Saturday 10^th September was another first in our calendar – Ladies v Breakfast Club.

The Breakfast Club normally tee off at 7:00am on a Saturday morning, regardless of the weather or the time of year.  We negotiated  a more sociable meet for breakfast at 9:30 and took up the challenge.  We all had a great day and enjoyed the company, added to the fact that the ladies won 4 - 3!!

Another fabulous trophy for our cabinet.  Thank you Breakfast Club for being great hosts and taking the inaugural loss in good spirit.

Autumn Meeting – Wow! One of the hottest days in September since the 1960’s.  It was a challenge just to get round the course!  It was a lovely day with a great turn out and I love the fact that our senior Swinging 60’s are still such a big part of both the Autumn and Spring Meetings.

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

Men Vs Ladies – Sunday 2^nd October – sign-up sheet is on the mixed notice board

This is an annual event with a carvery afterward hosted by Joe Harris and all monies raised on the day go to our charity Spadework. 

Quiz Night – Friday 14^th October – Thank you again to Jeanette and Bernie for agreeing to hold another fun evening. It will be sausage and chips on the menu and tickets will be on sale in the office from this weekend. Remember to get your table of 6 together!
