'B' Team Match v Lincolnshire 'B' held at Heacham Manor on Monday 1st July 2024

Helen Ayres • July 5, 2024

This was a brand-new fixture played off handicap with the thought that it would be great to allow more members to play in our matches against other counties.


Match Captain Sue Saunders reported that it was her first in charge, and she had selected from a number of clubs.  It was agreed that it would be played as a 4 ball better ball with 12 players in each team.  The teams met in bright sunshine and the match was played in dry conditions although it did end up being extremely chilly at the end of the day.


Obviously, most players were new to the team and several members were unsure of what to wear with much hilarity regarding team colours and several different shades of cerise/pink were on show.


Lincolnshire sent their team selection ahead of time so that partnerships could be chosen with similar handicaps and the match was played in good spirits.  The teams enjoyed a two-course meal of oven-roasted chicken breast, dauphinoise potato, broccoli with a mushroom cream sauce followed by lemon meringue pie.


A big thanks to Heacham Manor and their Secretary Karen for her help in organising the event.  The course was in excellent condition and the meal was extremely tasty.


The result was a very friendly 3-3 draw.

Autumn Greensome held at Bawburgh Golf Club on 17th October 2024

By Helen Ayres • December 31, 2024
Angie Allsopp reported that 88 ladies from 14 clubs played in this event. It was a very good day, the weather was extremely kind and we were looked after very well by all the staff at Bawburgh. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day and quite a few stayed for the presentation. Unfortunately, we did not have a starter so everyone saw themselves off, which was not a problem.

Match vs Cambs & Hunts Seniors held at King's Lynn Golf Club on Friday 4 October 2024

By Helen Ayres • December 30, 2024
Match Captain Sue Saunders reported that this match against Cambs & Hunts Seniors was rearranged from earlier in the year when rain stopped play. The games were played in good spirit and the individual matches were really enjoyed against good opposition. There is no question that the Norfolk team feel at home at the tree-lined King's Lynn course which was in excellent condition and a real pleasure to play on for our final match of the season. Hospitality provided was first-class and a great two-course meal was enjoyed by all. NVLGS colours were presented to Bev Fowler and rather belatedly to Sally Bettinson, Kath Malvern and Anne Sibley. 

Match v Suffolk Seniors held at Thetford Golf Club on Tuesday 24 September 2024

By Helen Ayres • December 30, 2024
Match Captain Sue Saunders reported that this was our third game of the season and, when completing the match sheet, Suffolk Seniors asked if we wanted to play off handicap or scratch as they had brought some new players into this friendly fixture to gain experience. I, possibly foolishly, said scratch. Unusually for a Tuesday this year we had pleasant weather conditions for the four fourballs even though the forecast was predicting rain. These games are always played in a fun and friendly manner, and this was no exception. The course was in good condition with fast greens and it made for some really competitive matches. Hospitality provided by Thetford Golf Club was first-class and an extremely tasty two course meal was enjoyed by all. We had a super day and my thanks go to the team.

AmAm held at Thetford Golf Club on Thursday 19 September 2024

By Helen Ayres • September 20, 2024
104 ladies had perfect conditions for playing golf with afternoon sunshine and a gentle breeze. Once again this event was oversubscribed and apologies to those who did not get in as sadly we could only accommodate 26 teams with a two tee start. Everyone seemed to have a good day out and there was a very pleasant atmosphere in the clubhouse. Prizes were presented up to 5th place, plus some nearest the pins, and this year's first place and winners of the Judith Mackinnon Salver were Jane Wheeler, Sue Hill, Diana Piccolo and Alison Mackway from Dunston Hall. The Society is very grateful to everyone who generously bought raffle tickets which raised £380 for the Norfolk & Norwich Hospital Charity. Big thanks to Thetford Golf Club for their beautifully presented course and delicious lunch and to their ladies section for all their help in making this a huge success.
