Spring Four Ball Betterball Prize Winners
The Spring Four Ball Betterball Stableford held at Middleton Hall Golf Club on 21st April 2017.

On a cold and windy morning, 112 ladies from 21 clubs across the county headed west to Middleton Hall to play in the first competition of the year and the first to be organised by Competitions Secretary, Trish Watson, who had taken over from Pippa Holliday at the AGM in March. As we walked from the car park to the clubhouse we saw our new flag flying!

The day was very well supported by the owners of Middleton Hall, Mike and Mandy Johnson, and all the staff, with a complimentary half way house enjoyed by all the ladies. We are grateful to Mike and Mandy for their hospitality and for kindly donating two nearest the pin prizes. Club Captain Craig and Seniors Captain Bob were our starters and photographers for the day. (If any lady would like a photograph of her group taken on the tee, please contact Mike Johnson who would be happy to email a copy.)

Our thanks go to former Vets rep Angela for all her hard work both before and on the day, Elaine (Club President) and Ladies’ Vice Captain Chris for Registration and Scores, and to Jane, Ann and Judith for the raffle, ball spotting and half way house.

With an excellent lunch very well received by all players, Lady Captain Eleanor welcomed the ladies to Middleton Hall.

Prizes were then presented to the winners. Congratulations to Sue and Alison of Costessey Park who retained the Smiths Coasters which will be presented at the Annual General Meeting.

The raffle was generously supported by all those present and raised £164 for the Norfolk Junior Girls.

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.
