Championship 2024 - Divisions 1 and 2 - Eaton
Helen Ayres • June 30, 2024
Competitions Secretary, Jill Bullimore, reported that it was unfortunate there was a small field but those taking part enjoyed the day and finally the sun shone.
This competition is split into two divisions: one for those with handicaps lower than 21 who play a medal and a second division for those 21+ up to 36 who play a stableford.
There were eight players in Division 1. Trophies are awarded for the best Scratch player and runner up, a handicap winner and a best nett score for an over 65 player. In Division 2, nineteen players took part.
President, Sue Hill, presented the trophies and prizes. Congratulations to all those who took part and especially our winners.
The raffle which was well supported raised £105.

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.

Presentation of Trophies at the 2024 AGM
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 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.
