Ladies Christmas Indoor Frolic
The rubbish weather last Thursday didn’t stop the ladies from having a great time with some indoor golf. We ran a putting comp, a chipping com and a Nearest the Pin comp in the swing room. Vanessa Veitch was the winner of that one and there were other winners too. I manage to sneak into the photo montage after a well placed chip shot! And finally we have a video of the lady caprtain Jan Ravenscroft knocking it in close…
Christmas Lunch
Here are some more excellent photos from the Christmas lunch which took place on the 10th December.
Awkward Lies
Joe Boyd and Chris Wood’s ball finished in this tricky spot during their recent winter men’s foursomes knockout match… I’m not at liberty to say who actually hit it there!!
