Match v Bedfordshire held at Royal Cromer Golf Club on 28th June 2021
NVLGS • July 1, 2021
Match Captain Ann Whittington reported: "Norfolk's first home match in two years was played at Royal Cromer Golf Club.......a day at the seaside.......sadly the sun didn't shine, in fact it reminded us of a dull October day........not how I had planned! However, our spirits were not dampened and 6 x 4Ball matches were played. The rough was extremely challenging.....long wispy grass, which looked so pretty, swallowed up many golf balls and was difficult to play out from. The visitors struggled. Norfolk won 5/1...... quite a resounding victory. Hospitality provided by Royal Cromer was excellent - a great two course meal followed by tea/coffee after play was appreciated by all. Thank you to all my team who played."

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.
