Ladies Autumn Open & Other Stories

Welcome to another one of my weekly missives. I hope you enjoy the read.

It’s a little damp out on the course at the mo so if you weren’t already aware, we are currently playing preferred lies on closely mown areas. Please mark, lift, clean and replace your ball within 6″, no nearer the hole.

Ladies Autumn Open

Another great event took place on Friday and here’s lady captain Jan Ravenscoft with more details:

Thank you to everyone who played and helped in the Ladies Autumn Open on Friday.  We had a great turn out – 114 ladies taking part – and while the weather did not look promising early on, thank goodness it stayed fine and everyone was able to complete their rounds. Hats off too to the greens staff who worked very hard to prepare and mop the course beforehand.

Some very good scores were returned. The winners with 43 points were  Judith Durrant, Tina Moorhouse and Judy Grant from Prestbury Golf club. The runners up with 42 points were Lesley Crossley, Jenny Loughlin and Liz Stein from Mere Golf Club.

A huge thank you to “the Gillians” (Gillian Brogdon and Gillian Healey)  for the hours of planning and organisation on the day …also to the great team of helpers who made things run so smoothly. The occasion was much enjoyed and is almost fully booked again for next year. 

Ladies Thursday Competition

Congrats to Sally Wright for winning the front nine stableford last weeks with 20 points. Lady captain Jan Ravenscroft was runner up with 17 points.

Mushrooms on the Course

Thanks to Jan Ravenscroft for this super photos of mushrooms on the course… in case you’re wondering, the ball was placed on top of the fungii for scale purposes – Jan’s shot didn’t finish there!!
