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.

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.
