Wednesday Evening Ladies

This years Wednesday Evening Sessions for ladies without handicaps proved very popular again. The sessions run from May to late August with weekly competitions and prizes and are designed to encourage ladies who have played a little golf to attain a handicap and learn more about the rules and etiquette from established members who help each week.

This season has seen over 45 ladies sign up, six have gained their handicaps already with a further six in the process. We are hoping to see these ladies joining us in our Weekend or Tuesday competitions in the near future.

On the final evening teams of four competed in a Texas Scramble followed by supper and prize giving in the clubhouse. The winning team was Margaret Bruce, Joy Sharphouse, Pat Whapshare and helper Pat Fullick.
