Bader Cup update

As you may remember "The Bader Cup" held in April 2012, was a qualifying competition which was won by Sue and Malcolm Gofton. On August 7th Sue and Malcolm took part in the regional finals which was held at North Downs Golf Club in Surrey.

Sue has reported back on a fabulous day at a very friendly club whose undulating course was in great condition.........." Malcolm and I had played their mixed open the week before to do a 'rekkie' of the course and came second so were really looking forward to the day. However it was not to be as we came in with 33 which was quite respectable with only a few above us and our playing partners actually won with 40. They were Sheila and Roger Forster from Princes GC who actually know some of our members so that was really nice. They were speechless as 40 points wasn't that high. So they are off to sunny Portugal for 5 nights all expenses paid in November lucky things!!
Never mind there is always new year…………" Sue

Well done Sue and Malcolm for giving it your best shot, we're all very proud of you! 

Mixed St Andrews Result

Lovely warm weather greeted us at the Mixed St Andrews Greensome Stableford competition on Sunday 19th August. A field of 10 teams of 4 went out on the Hurricane and a good time was had by all with some very impressive scores! The results were as follows:

1st: Jane Woodward, Roger Woodhams, Carol Eldridge and Bob Appleby - 86 pts (on c/b)
2nd: Lisa Kiddie, Colin Kiddie, Diana Scott and Duncan Scott - 86 pts
3rd: Caroline Harrison, John Harrison, Debbie Conder and Kevin Conder - 77 pts

Congratulations to the winners and thank you to everyone who took part.
Please spare a thought for poor Sue Stickland, Arthur Watson and Rena Jones who were raring to go but were unable to take part as the 4th member of their team failed to appear on the day - we look forward to seeing the 3 of you in the next mixed competition!

The next mixed competition is the Tunisian Greensomes on 2nd September. I will be taking the list down today so please contact me asap if you wish to enter and have not signed up.

Friendly Matches.......

We are almost into August so I thought I would be brave and take on 'posting' the results of this years friendlies to date!
Firstly, I would like to thank Rena Jones, Sue Stickland and Belinda Evans for covering the Captains role for the matches as you can imagine this is a very busy time of year for both Kevin and me.
I would also like to thank those ladies that have taken part in the friendlies and I hope you have enjoyed playing the various courses on the away days.
Unfortunately due to bad weather some matches have had to be postponed but hopefully the weather will contnue to improve so that we can get the matches played.

Results as follows:
West Malling V Hever = Won 2-1
West Malling V Weald of Kent = Won 4-0
Tudor Park V West Malling = Lost 3-1
Canterbury V West Malling = Match abandoned due to bad weather!

We still have to play Lamberhurst away on 26th July, Kingshill at home on 2nd August, Woodlands away on 23rd August, St Augustines at home on 22nd September and finally Bearsted away on 1st November.
Please keep an eye on the board for updates etc and lets hope we win some of the remaining matches!

Tappin Trophy Match at Woodlands Manor

The Tappin Trophy team, Sharon Taylor, Kim Wellman and Margaret Barnard played at Woodlands Manor today.  Sadly, the team lost in a closely contested match 2 and 1.   Two of the games went to the 18th hole and the other to the 15th.  Everyone enjoyed their games and the course.   With hindsight, perhaps, I was rather unfair to Margaret asking her to play Woodlands Manor with its infamous Eiger holes following her recent bout of pleurisy!!  In spite of this, Margaret put up a valiant fight, only losing out on the fianl putt. Sharon maintained her unbroken record of wins and Kim shone in her first outings for West |Malling. Well done to all the team (inluding Carol Martin, currently on holiday) and thank you all for playing in the Tappin Trophy team this year.

MASTERS WEEKEND

The weekend started for me with my attendance at The Masters Dinner on Friday evening! This is the first time the Lady Captain has been invited to the dinner and it was a lovely evening. I hope the Lady Captain gets an invite again next year. I managed to encourage the previous Masters winners into a bit of support for my charity. They each contributed £10 to my challenge that a lady would finish above them all in the Masters. I am pleased to say that we won that challenge and my Charity is £90 better off! Due to some other side bets on my ability to beat Alan Wesson, which I luckily did, my charity gained a total of £130 which is lovely.

A fantastic weekend for the ladies. 20 ladies played in the Masters and by the end of Day 1 we had a lady out in each of the last groups on Sunday! Gill Newson (net 65 on the Spitfire on Saturday) and Jennie Horn (net 63 on the Hurricane on Saturday). Unfortunately a lady did not manage to win the Masters but some great golf was played. Congratulations to all the ladies who took part and especially to Jennie Horn, Jane Woodward, Julie Harris and Gill Newson for fantastic performances over the weekend.

Well done again ladies, it was a great atmosphere and fantastic to be a part of.
