Match vs Suffolk held at Diss on 30 September 2021

NVLGS • December 5, 2021

Ann Whittington reported on her last match as Match Captain and the last match this year which was v Suffolk played at Diss Golf Club.  This was a rearranged date as our original was scheduled to be played at the end of the Covid lockdown but still prior to any hospitality arrangements.  The match, however, was put under question with the fuel crisis but all players assured me they would manage to complete the return journey. 


The forecast was again predicting rainfall.  We were used to that by now and, although waterproofs were donned, spirits were not dampened!!!  5 x 4 ball matches were played.  Pippa Holliday, the Norfolk Veteran Ladies' President, was present to see us all off.  The course is better played with local knowledge as there are several holes with blind greens.  Norfolk won 3-2.


Hospitality provided by the club was very acceptable and enjoyed by all.


Thanks go to all the ladies who have played and supported me throughout this year........great camaraderie and team spirit.

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.
