Meet & Greet and Introduction of the IG system

Hi Ladies,
A date to remember for your diaries:

Sunday 1st March - 10am Meet & Greet for all our new Lady members. We will introduce our committee ladies and discuss any matters regarding rules, marking of cards and sign up sheets etc. Also weather permitting maybe play a few holes.

Following directly after

An invitation to ALL Lady members for an introduction regarding the New Intelligent Golf system that is now available to us ladies at West Malling. This initial meeting will cover how the system works and how to sign up for competitions. The IG system will be carried out in stages and hopefully by the end of the year all competitions will be entered this way.

A sign up sheet will be in the ladies changing room for those that will be attending.

Coffee will be arranged.

Many thanks,

Carol Martin
Lady Captain

Ladies, the Valentines  sign up sheet will be taken down tomorrow, so please sign up if you haven’t already.

The Overnighter

Hello Ladies,
I want to thank you all for your quick response to the change of date, I really appreciate
it.I also want to apologize to those who had to drop out because of the date change. I
hope the trip turns out as good as it is intended. Please for those of you who still have
not paid your deposit can you pls do so before the end of the month.

Thanks again
Diana

Change of date for the Overnighter

Hello Ladies,

Due to an error with your golf travel. They have given us the wrong date for our
overnighter.  They gave us the 13th and 14th instead of our original date of the
 6th and 7th.
I have tried to rectify this with them and Old Thorn but it seems we can't get the 8 tee
times we need on the 6th so we are going to have to change the date to the 13th.
I truly hope that all the ladies signed on can still make the new date.

Please let me know if you can't make that date so I can take you off the list. I hope
that won't be the case. I am really sorry for the inconvenience. Believe me, we've been
 back and forth trying to resolve this, but at the end the day the club just couldn't give us the
tee times needed,

Regards
Diana

Lady Captains January Report

Lady Captains January Report

Happy New Year to you all.

Well this is my 1^st report as Lady Captain and though I still feel apprehensive of the Year ahead I will do my best. I wish to thank you all for your support at the Drive in and I am pleased to say I managed to find the fairway on my drive. Bill (men’s captain) confirmed that the joint Charity for 2020 would be Prostate Cancer (Kent) and it was obvious with the donations received on the day that it will be a worthy Charity.

The Ladies section has a very busy calendar for 2020 and hopefully all competitions will be well supported. I will be adding some additional Medal competitions during the year and these will be posted when the dates are agreed with the office.

At the AGM I confirmed that discussions had been carried out with the management regarding Intelligent Golf; this system will allow the ladies to sign up online.

Julie Harris and I have now had a meeting with Greg and the ladies have now been signed up to IG. Julie has agreed to take on the role and work on behalf of the ladies’ section and co-ordinate the changeover. I know that it will take us all a while to understand how this works and we will be doing this in stages. I believe it would be most helpful to have a meeting so that questions can be answered, we have a Meet and Greet on Sunday 1^st March (10am) and we would like to take the opportunity to explain the IG system to all our lady members. I will put a sign-up sheet in the changing room so we can see how many numbers are attending, coffee will be arranged for the morning. Prior to this meeting would you please check that management has a correct email address for you.

Finally, the sign-up sheets are now in the changing room for the Valentines Fun Comp, hopefully weather permitting it will be played over 18 holes.

Here’s looking forward to the dry weather and a great golfing year.

Carol

Kent Competition 2020 -3 feathers

Hi ladies and happy New Year to you all there are quite a few competitions that are available for those with an active handicap to enter that are organised by the Kent County ladies golf Association the one particular one that I would need you to think about is the three feathers

Three feathers matchplay knockout - give it a go !

This is a Kent led competition which I have entered a few times. Being knockout for the £5 entry fee you could get really lucky and play quite a few courses! There is no set pattern ref green fees and the matches are alternate home and away. It’s really well supported with 3 hcap bands
Scratch - 15- gold
16-22- silver
22-36- bronze

The final is at Wrotham Heath on 13/9/20

It’s excellent matchplay practise - whatever your hcap!

12 Hole Christmas Lunch

Well ladies what can I say.  What a terrific turnout. Fifty ladies for lunch WOW!!! I know
 a lot of you struggled to get to the club on time with all the problems on the M20
but you all made it and it all worked out.
 I could not have arranged a more beautiful day for you, so if you didn't enjoy your golf at
least you could enjoy the weather.  I have always been a big fan of the Christmas

competition as it was the first one I took part in when I first joined WM.  As Captain, it 

was a great one to finish on. Thank you all for all the support and help on the day 

and throughout the year. Well done to our winners:  1st Carol Martin, 2nd Sally Payne and
3rd Debbie Tannet.
We Made £410 pounds on the raffle and bauble, so thank you all again for your generosity.
Hope this weather holds for a bit longer so we can get a few more rounds in before
Christmas.

Swinging Sixties

Given that the Spitfire has been closed following the prolonged rain yesterday and the fact that it has been raining for most of today, I have made the decision to cancel the golf tomorrow. 

However, the lunch will be still be going ahead.  Debbie and I will be at the Club from about 10:30 so if you want to join us any time after that for a coffee and maybe have a go at some pub games upstairs in the bar before lunch, it would be great to see you. 

Penny

Swinging Sixties

I am not sure what the weather forecast is for Thursday’s Swinging Sixties, but if it’s in keeping with the week so far, it’ll be raining! The lunch will go ahead whatever the weather, but I am looking at a back-up plan if the weather is too bad to play golf which would involve activities that can be done inside.  We’ll make a decision on Thursday morning if that’s o.k. with everyone. 

Penny
07703 578357

Swinging Sixties

Can anyone play at the Swinging Sixties next Thursday, 28 November as I have had a lady drop out?  You don't have to be sixty to stand in.

The format is greensomes;  there is a lunch of chilli and jacket (or cheese and beans) followed by sticky toffee pudding at a cost of £14.75.

Let me know if you could take part.

Many thanks

Mixed Christmas Jumper - 8 December

The mixed Christmas Jumper competition is on Sunday, 8 December.  Christmas has crept up on us this year and a sign up sheet for this event hasn't been put on the noticeboard.  If you would like to take part in this competition, please contact Anne Smart  on 07985 543372 or via Girlie Golf as soon as possible so that she can do the draw by the end of this week.

Lady Captains Report

Well ladies we seem to be getting through the months very quickly. Really good for me
but I believe it's getting a bit frightening for Carol, as her captain year is getting closer.
As we all know she has nothing to worry about. We'll all be there backing her up when
ever she needs us.

In October we had the Captains Charity day, this was an event set up by Joe Harris,
But he felt it had run its course so Lew and my self decided to take it on instead of
cancelling. It wasn't the best turn out, it could've worked a bit better, but we were
 limited to time when we took it on. Next year it will be a bit earlier in the year which
helps with the weather. But we couldn't complain as we raised £530 for Newlife,
Then we played the committee cup, the weather wasn't great and the course was very
muddy so we decided to make it a 12 hole competition.  Carol Martin came in with 17pts
which gave her 1st place that afternoon. We followed with the carvery at the club which
made it a very nice finish to a cold and mucky day.

Coming into November, not a lot going on as the course has been wet and very
 muddy. Ladies the problems with the 9 hole stableford seem to be rectified, so we
 have reinstated the competitions fingers crossed all goes well.  We then had the
 Captains Dinner Dance.What a night,, alot of preparation went into getting it sorted
 but it was worth it.I personally had a great time and the feedback afterwards was
amazing The food was good the music was great, the dance floor was never empty,
 the crowd was absolutely fabulous.We manage to raise £1772.00 for Newlife which
 was a great result and the main reason for the event. Thank you to all who supported
 the evening.

We have the St Andrews mix coming up on Sunday and then the ladies 12 hole
 Christmas lunch, we will be presenting the trophies won through the year after lunch.
 We will also have the signup sheet for the Overnighter it will be first come first serve
 as there are only a limited amount of spaces all signing up must signup with a partner
We then have our last mixed which is the Christmas jumpers competition always good
fun hope we get a good turn out with some fabulous Christmas jumpers.

 
And last but not least the AGM can't believe that's it for me until January.

Weather permitting keep enjoying your golf .

Diana
