Match vs Suffolk held at Gorleston Golf Club on 23rd May 2016
NVLGS • May 29, 2016
A bright but cold morning greeted us for our match at Gorleston. The wind blew but, as the majority of us were from coastal courses, this should not have presented a problem. What seems a feature of these matches is last minute call-offs and this was no exception with an injury at the County Championship on Friday necessitating the call-up of the remaining reserve. Sadly this was not the last call-off for the match with Alex Cowie being involved in a car accident en route to the game, the full details of which we were unaware until after the match. I am pleased to report that, although she was taken to hospital with concussion, she escaped without injury, more than can be said for her car I believe.
Scratch 4BBB is tough for one player and, despite a generous concession on the 12th, the first match could not be extended much further. The other matches were close but all three went against us on the 17th. The bright sunshine of earlier in the day was long gone and we were all glad to reach the comfort of the clubhouse and the excellent meal prepared for us by Tim and his team. Scampi, skate or chicken together with plentiful accompaniments and a lovely selection of desserts revived our failing spirits. Revenge will have to wait another year.

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.
