Championship - Silver & Bronze Divisions 2018

NVLGS • July 16, 2018
The Championships – Silver & Bronze Divisions were held at Thetford Golf Club on 18th June 2018.

Trish Watson reported that once again we were blessed with a sunny day. The Championships reverted to a start time of 9.00 a.m. but, with league matches and invitation days, the numbers were comparable with last year.

54 players from 17 clubs throughout the county played in the competition: 35 in Silver Division and 19 in Bronze Division, with 35 players entering the Gwen Watts Salver Over 65 competition which ran alongside the Championships.

Thanks go to: Helen Ayres and Trish Watson – Registration; Molly Izzard – Raffle; Anne McHarg (Club President) and Margaret Hayward (Ladies’ Captain) – Starters on the 1st and 14th tees; Anne McHarg for checking the scores.

Refreshments of roast gammon or vegetarian quiche, accompanied by new potatoes and a variety of vegetables, followed by coffee, were enjoyed by all. Our thanks to Teresa and her staff.
After making a contribution to the Ladies’ Captain’s charity, the East Anglian Air Ambulance, the raffle raised £94 for Norfolk Junior Girls.

Vets President Ann Ewer presented the prizes

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.

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.
