Ladies invitation day

My thanks go to all the ladies who supported our ladies invitation day on 7th July. 
We had 32 ladies in total and enjoyed reasonable weather. The format of the day was pairs betterball along side a team 4ball pink ball game - this added a different dimension. We had some great scores and I have received quite a few thank you texts and emails since so I am glad we organised and held the day and hope our ladies enjoyed hosting. 

Well done to Jill Gambling (a winner again! She tells me she is enjoying riding the wave!) and her guest who won the day and to Debbie Tennant and her guest who were also in the prizes. 
Helen Cornwell was very proud of returning her pink ball to the clubhouse and along with Sue Stickland and their guests they won the pink lady team game. 

Hopefully this event can become a regular event in our calendar. Lisa I am sure will consider it in due course.

Diary updates - July 2015

Ladies 

Just wanted to let you know of a few changes to up coming events. 

The planned pro nite on the 13th July has been postponed to 2 September. 
This was due to lack of support so hopefully the revised date works better as should be out of peak holiday season. 

Summer party 18th July 
This event has been cancelled. Russ let me know yesterday. He is disappointed as you can imagine. 

I agreed a few revisions to the ladies calendar at the committee meeting  this week. 

Wednesday boys match - I have offered dates in October so await confirmation and a sheet will be posted once confirmed. 

Mixed team comp will now be held on 25th October instead of 11th as we have rescheduled the Men vs ladies charity day as previously communicated - the sign up sheet has been posted for the charity day as guests can join for lunch and we get exclusive use of the carvery so need to know numbers. 

We have slotted an additional 9 hole stableford in October to replace the ones cancelled whilst work on the spitfire took place. We have no other options for more but we do have 2 others scheduled at the back end of the year so these remain unchanged - this gives everyone the opportunity to  complete their cards for 2015. 

I will post the revised diary on the noticeboard and include copies if you want to take during the next week. 

Sign up sheets for : 

Merlins match 22/9 will be posted shortly 
Thanksgiving evening in November - we need to know numbers so I will post a sheet shortly so you can indicate your interest. 
Lady captains away day - the sign up sheet is up. We are booked in at Birchwood Park so hopefully you can join the day out as it is not too far. 

Availability and section admin 
Our competition team continue to do a great job so can you ensure if you are not able to play that you inform them. Also, we have a few competition fees outstanding. Chasers have been sent out so hopefully these will be paid up in a timely manner. 
For the friendly matches this year we have struggled getting a team together on a number of occasions. Can you please check your availability for the remaining fixtures and ensure you are still free and happy to play so that Lisa can sort the team out. 
Thanks go to everyone who filled in at short notice though as without them we would not have been able to field a full squad. These are fun great value days out which are organised well and your support is appreciated.

Lady Captains Report – July 2015

As I sit to write this report I realise this is my 7th report for the year so I do hope everyone is being kept up to date with stuff throughout the section by way of this, the blog, and the newsletter on all the happenings ladies section related. 

June was a milestone month for me personally. I had survived 7 months in the role and it has really whizzed by.  We are gripped well and truly in the golf season now. Not a weekend is free as it is golf, golf, golf!  I am not complaining though as I am enjoying taking part and playing more than ever!

I had a lovely Lady Captains day accompanied on the day by Vicky Richardson as we were able to play a few holes of golf whilst you all fought it out for the trophy and prizes.  Then to have a section wide sit down lunch where there was lots of fun and laughter made it really special. My family and special friends who provide me with lots of support joined and it was nice for them to see everyone in good form.

We had lots of winners and prizes spread around – Julie Harris nabbed the overall trophy and got cut to 17 so big congratulations to Julie who is really on form right now and may have enjoyed the Prosecco more than the rest of us to celebrate her success.  Then there was Sara Burbridge and Jane Woodward who got 2^nd and 3^rd respectively.  Our front and back 9 winners were Jeannette Johnson and Hazel Reucroft.  Nearest the pin prizes and then Lee’s charity hole prizes were spread out and a write up is on the blog. Really well played ladies. 

After lady captains day I then headed to Gillingham to play the 5 club challenge final.  I scored 31 points (38 won!) after a bad start but did win the longest drive of the day so all was not lost. Spending the day catching up with golfing girlfriends from other clubs also got my weeks break off to a good start! 

So I left being lady captain behind for a week and headed off for the long anticipated and talked about bike ride to Paris. It has been an amazing challenge to do and support by way of texts, emails, cards, presents that I have received either whilst I pedalled or since I returned has completely taken me by surprise.  Julie made sure that blog updates were posted as Joe and I plotted our way to Paris and it was an adventure where I met amazing people who do amazing things and realised for a moment in time Joe and I were one of them. It was tough but rewarding in every way and it will be a while before we forget about it. A question I keep being asked; Would you do it again?  Repeating it would not be the same - as a fundraiser this is a one off!  I may consider doing another adventure but just for me though so you never know….

Money has continued to be sponsored since our return and the total stands at a staggering £7500 with gift aid.  The 2 nominated lady captain charities this year will be blown away. I cannot stop saying thank you if you supported us. My thanks also go to everyone who filled in whilst I was away.

I returned fresher than I thought physically and headed straight to Chestfield to play in the friendly.  My mental focus was probably not the best but I did have a lovely day out and knowing the lady captain there it was nice comparing our experiences from our year to date. We all love a good catch up - me included! The full report was posted on the blog.

I celebrated the longest day of the year by getting back on my bike and cycling to the club as I was missing pedalling a bit and was really thrilled to be able to join and support the charity 72 hole longest day golf challenge completed by some crazy men from the Breakfast Club swindle. I walked 8 holes and provided encouraging banter and biscuits to ensure they kept going.  They started at 415am and finished a little before 7 in the evening.  As they set off for their final 18 holes I chilled out on the patio with a nice glass of wine.

And so the Masters weekend was upon us again. Our brave ladies entered and played on the Saturday to qualify for day 2.  We had 10 successful ladies make the cut …it was very exciting and a great achievement.  And we had Top 10 and Top 20 finishes.  Julie was our most successful lady in joint 6^th place so will get some sweep money and Carrie Beech and Gill Newson were not far from contention.  My own Masters story this year was not as successful as I had a tale of woe on my favourite hole where I scored a massive 14 due to putting myself in a bunker and not being able to get out in a timely manner. My sense of humour remained though and it is still my favourite hole!  Therefore, on the Sunday I was a groupie and pushed Lee’s trolley round.  A junior won which was a terrific achievement and I made sure he had a congratulations kiss from the Lady Captain. 

June ended and July began. We had the self funded Mid week Trophy played on the last day of June , won by Rena Jones then the Mid Season Trophy sponsored by Pat West was played on 5^th July - Jill Gambling and Kim Wellman had a magnificent score of 53 points. 

So our hall of fame winners for 2015 grows and we will celebrate their success again later in the year at the Thanksgiving evening planned in November so make sure the date is in your diary.

Its scorching and July is here - we have lots to look forward to.  We have ladies invitation day on the 7^th where we will invite guests and showcase our section.  The day will hopefully be a success and one we can establish as part of our busy summer calendar. We have mixed comp planned on the 12^th and another friendly and then the club championship weekend is scheduled for the last weekend in July so hopefully everyone has signed up and taking part.

Finally, my congratulations go to all the winners during June.  I have tried to contact everyone to say well done but if I haven’t then I say WELL DONE publically.   Swing slow ladies.
