P.R.G.C. LADIES SECTION
LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD
AUGUST – SEPTEMBER
As we thought, August turned out to be a very busy month with the hot weather continuing to be a challenge. The results from the midweek Stableford are already on record as is the 30+ match against Chiltern Forest.
On Monday 10th August we played our Chiltern League match against Whiteleaf at home. Matches against your nearest club are often extra challenging. After an enjoyable game Risborough Ladies won by two and a half points to a half. This was two matches won and 1 match halved The after-match refreshments were enjoyed by all.
Two days later on Wednesday 12th we played the Grannies competition. I believe we also had some Great Grannies playing. This was a closely fought competition with just two points between the top five players. The competition was won by Valerie Dexter
The following Monday was our final Chiltern League match for this season against Chartridge Park at home, which resulted in another home victory for Risborough by 2 matches to 1.
Wednesday 26th was the date for the Inaugural Cup competition. It turned out to be a lot warmer than we thought but we all completed the challenge. The Cup was won by Jill Peppett with Arlinda Chaplin second and Sue Pomeroy third.
September is also looking good, as long as the dry weather holds. Having played a friendly Blue Ball competition yesterday it was good to see the grass becoming green again even though it poured with rain for most of the game !!! Thanks to the Grounds team for seeing us through the recent weather.
Friday 4th will be the Chiltern League Ryder Cup for this season to be played at Weston Turville GC. We wish the 8 ladies in our team the best of luck in the four different formats that are included in this competition.
On Sunday 6th we have a mixed match at home against Weston Turville. The mixed matches are great fun and we are looking forward to hearing how the match goes.
Wednesday 9th will be the September Medal and it is hoped that a few more ladies will be available to play now that grandchildren have gone back to school.
The following Wednesday (16th) we have a Ladies Away Day at Wycombe Heights playing the Par 3 course followed by lunch afterwards. 16 ladies will be taking on the Par 3 course, it should be great fun.
On 23rd we are planning to play the finals of the Summer Pairs and Singles competitions and on 24th a team of our ladies have been invited to play at Badgemore Golf Club to represent us at their Annual Invitation competition. We wish them the best of luck for these events.
The finale of our season is the Barcilon Cup – the Ladies Club Championship to be played on Monday 28th and Wednesday 30th September. This is the most important competition for us and to date we have 14 ladies entered. The final date for entries is Monday 21st September.
