This week we have news of a trip away, the start up of the indoor winter league plus other a round up of recent results. Unfortunately but not surprisingly, Bogey 3 alt day was called off due to the rain today.

Ladies Annual Dinner
I understand that everyone had a lovely evening on Wednesday at the dinner and Vicky Chamberlain’s sister Katy did a great job as the after dinner speaker.
At the presentaion, the crystal golf ball was awarded to Holly Rowlinson for being the most improved player, reducing her handicap from 35.1 to 25.8 over the course of the season.
The Secretary’s prize was awarded to Kate Morris for being the most improved player with a handicap index greater than 36. She started the year off 50.7 and finished the year off a full 10 shots lower, off 40.7.
Min Fishwick won the Joyce Fisher Prize, which is awarded to the most improved senior.
Tiff Fielden won the gross eclectic for the year and Holly won the nett eclectic, just out do-ing her mum Irene who finished in second place.
