'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.

Spring Four Ball Betterball Stableford - Monday 14th April 2025

By Helen Ayres • April 23, 2025
The Spring Four Ball Betterball Stableford was held at Gorleston Golf Club on 14th April 2025. Competitions Secretary Jill Bullimore reported that 92 members from 14 clubs took part. The weather was fine and dry. However, the wind did get stronger as the day progressed making this a factor to wrestle with. Gorleston Golf Club were superb hosts; everyone made every effort to make our day enjoyable. There were particularly satisfied faces after a lovely fish and chip meal. Congratulations to the winners, Sue Olds and Sue Fage from Wensum Valley, with a creditable 46 points.

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.
