There were 36 ladies today for the Lady Captain’s Day and I am sure they will all agree it was a lovely day. The weather was dry at least, there was plenty of Pimms flowing, although I am not really convinced it helped some teams, but they left happy anyway. A special well done to Shirley who was clearly in a lot of discomfort but continued to the end, l hope you don’t suffer too much tomorrow.
The results were;
1st. Rena Jones, Eileen Tuson and Jacqueline Hunt 77 pts. (o.c.b.)
2nd. Anne Smart, Jill Gambling and Janice McConnell 77 pts.
3rd. Deborah Tennant, Jane Woodward and Julia Smith 76 pts.
Nearest the pin on 8th Lesley Shott
Nearest the pin on 13th Lorraine Cox
Nearest the line Diana Scott.
Well played ladies.
Good morning ladies just a quick update for Sunday’s Captains day. Could you please arrive earlier than your tee time and sign in at the clubhouse lounge area so that we are aware that the teams are altogether, plus also there will be raffle tickets available with lots of prizes at £5 per strip, we have also a 4 Ball voucher for The London club, tickets are £10 each for this amazing course. All proceeds will go to the Captains charity.
Thank you for your support and looking forward to seeing you Sunday.
Carol
Ladies can you please confirm with the club by tomorrow if possible, whether or not you are going to stay for sandwiches and cake after the game. The cost will be £9.50, all the food will be plated for each person to ensure it is COVID safe, so you can only swap sandwiches at your own risk if someone else is willing.
Joining together for food is a big part of Captains day so please join us if you can and help make it a day to remember for Carol.
If you have any dietary requirements please let the club know when you pay.
Ladies, we are going to change the timetable for signing up to competitions. As we no longer need to get to the club in order to sign up and view the draw, we have decided to open the draw 5 weeks before the start date and publish the draw one week beforehand. This will hopefully mean that if circumstances change for people, for the most part they can withdraw before the draw is made.
Hi ladies,
The time is now whizzing past and the overnighter is nearly upon us, attached is the
link for you to pay the balance which is £75. Please let me know when you have
made that payment so I can cross you off my list. I am really looking forward to
it, as is our lady captain. Hopefully we will have two great sunny days, I'm sure
a good time will be had by all. if you have any problems paying through this link
please let me know, my number is 07970382616

Hi Ladies,
Hopefully you are all enjoying your golf though it’s a little wet today. Competitions have been going very well over the past month and there are still many more to play.
The Lady Captain’s day will be going ahead on the 11th July though a little different to past years. We have 12 tee times for this day, this year I am hoping for a fun day and it will be played in a 3 ball team Waltz style. We have only 6 places left so if you want to attend please sign up on IG. There will be food after the round of sandwiches, cake with tea or coffee individually served when you come in and seated with your 3 ball team. The cost of this is £9.50 pp. there is no need to change as this will be a casual event.
Payment to be made for the food with your club card and please ensure that you let Kate know of any dietary requirements. I will be buzzing around with refreshments throughout your game.
2 raffles will be held for our joint charity which consists of £5 a strip for bottles, balls and a fourball at Boughton golf club, and another raffle for fourball voucher at the London club at £10 pp ticket there may also be a voucher for a fourball at Northforeland golf club this is still to be confirmed.
Well that’s it for now, stay safe.
Carol (Lady Captain)

Ladies we have just added the Cecil Leitch 5 club competition to IG for Sunday 16th May and it is open for you to sign up. Apologies for the short notice, entirely my fault, there have been lots of rearranging to be done but hopefully we are now back on track.
Can I also remind you that the Viv Allen Trophy and Mid Week trophy are also open to sign up on IG.
The draws for all the match play competitions are completed and these can be viewed on IG as well.

Hi Ladies,
How lovely it is to get back out on the golf course, the weather has been excellent since the club reopened after lockdown and both courses are in perfect condition. It has also been an added bonus to be able to meet up with friends (socially distanced) and enjoy a coffee and a chat.
Judith and I have now updated the diary from May to December 2021 and all competitions and some new are back on the calendar, with a little luck we will not have any further disruption. A printed copy will be put up on the information board in the foyer outside the pro shop. Judith and I will have a few copies printed for those that are not confident in using the IG system which of course has been updated by Julie.
We have now been able to accommodate the coronation 4/somes which had to be postponed due club restrictions, the new dates are Tuesday 1st June and Saturday 5th June. (Sign up on the IG). There is also a new competition this year a Ping Mixed 4 BBB which has been scheduled for Sunday 20th June (sign up on the IG) more details will be available from Anne Smart (mixed comp. Secretary). I have now rescheduled the Mixed Away Day at Boughton which once again had been postponed, this will now be played on Monday 30th August sign up will be available nearer the date.
There have been numerous updates with the newly formed IG and WHS and when restrictions are lifted we will organise an informal meeting to discuss issues and additions that are integrated into the system.
Julie has forwarded a link by the club email which guides you through the pre registering of play where you can submit a playing card in between the competitions. It would be most helpful if you could listen to the link. There will no longer be the opportunity to enter an exceptional score card if you have had a good round of golf, all cards are to be pre registered by the app on your telephone prior to playing. If you have signed up for a competition your card and score will be automatically registered onto the system through the ladies IG.
The ladies committee will try to help you with any problems as best they can, but please remember this system is new to all of us and we are trying to grasp the system ourselves, I am sure there will be many teething problems so please be patient it will eventually be sorted. It is supposed to make it easier with regards to fairer handicaps (We shall see)
Well I think that’s about all from me and I wish you all a healthy summer of golf.
Carol Martin Lady Captain

Hi Ladies,
Following on from my catch up of 28th February, I am now able to update you with the restrictions to competitions from management.
Greg has confirmed that all competitions that require a block booking will be cancelled until at least May, this will allow other golfers to book tees as they anticipate an increase of players once we are able to return to the golf course.
Looking on the bright side we will be able to continue with the Medal, Stableford, Eclectic and any other competitions that do not require a block booking.
Once a again the spring meeting, rose bowl and Elizabeth Budd have been postponed or maybe we can rearrange later in May or June (diary permitting). The Daily Mail 4somes has also been cancelled for 2021 as they have not been able to complete the 2020 final.
On the IG system we have a list of competitions that can be entered these include: The eclectic which runs on both courses and begins on April the 1st through to October 31st. Please take a photo of your card and send to Rena as we did last year. The ladies Shekyls Trophy, Ladies Mckean and the mixed Kip Pulling (summer Matchplay). The sign up for these competitions opens on the 20th March.
Please, please, keep looking on the IG system for competitions as these are being updated continuously, and will keep you informed.
Can all cards be posted into the ladies competition box in the lobby where they will be recorded by Jean our handicap Secretary, please make sure that the player and markers name is clear on the card and signed.
The IG system is not a present accepting the 9 hole score card as this has not been reset up since the new h/cap, but hopefully this will be adjusted by Greg shortly.
“That’s all from me folks”
All I can say now is stay safe, keep well and enjoy your golf from the 29th March.
Best wishes,
Carol
Hi Ladies,
I do hope you have all been keeping safe and well over the past months of lockdown. I don’t think anyone could have imagined how 2020 could have turned out. We were all looking forward to the New Year (2021) and once again COVID raised its ugly head and still remains. Obviously the good news is the vaccinations are now well on the way and hopefully by the end of the summer life will be back to some normality.
It’s brilliant news that restrictions are slowly being lifted and that we will be able to resume playing golf at West Malling on the 29th March, though still being careful, unfortunately our first competition the Spring Meeting (30th March) will have to be postponed, we will try and reschedule this for a later date if possible. I am pleased to say we can still play the Stableford and Medal Competitions that are on the IG system diary as we will be permitted 4 balls, so score cards can be completed, signed and put into the competition box in the foyer as post lockdown. Please keep checking the IG system for dates and up coming competitions and we will endeavour to publish the 2021 diary (though this is on the IG system) and send this out by email.
All the best, stay safe.
Carol - Lady Captain
