P R GC - December Newsletter from The Lady Captain 

As you can see by the date above, we have already had Christmas Day and Boxing Day and I hope you all had a wonderful time with family and friends. I am sure you will all agree too, that we have also had a good month of golf and attended some well organised social events here at PRGC. My thanks go to Sarah and her staff at front of house, Tricia and her staff in the kitchen and Jack and his staff for keeping the course in such good condition, considering the wet weather they have had to contend with. Thank you all on behalf of the Ladies Section 

Wed 4th Dec    We played the midweek Stableford. This was our first morning teeing off at 10am. It was considered a success overall as the temperature had warmed considerably and it was a pleasant morning weather wise. The winner with a very good score of 45 points was Sylvia Clark. The runner up was Fiona Coogan with 34 points. Well played both ladies! 

Wed11th Dec    Annual Turkey Trot Competition. We had a halfway house with mulled wine etc, organised and served by Sarah and Luke. After the golf, we had a traditional roast lunch with all the trimmings. Polly Allen organised a guess the weight of the cake competition and we had a raffle for a turkey voucher. These were won by Jill Peppett and Anne Ward respectively. We had a slight hiccup with the system when entering our score cards but eventually the results came in as 1st Sylvia Clark with 30 points 2nd Jill Peppett with 29 Points and 3rd Jules Bendell with 28 Points Well done ladies.  Also thank you to all the participants, as due to illness only 2 members were unable to play. A fantastic turnout and I think a good time was had by all. 

Wed 18th Dec     This was to be a Greensomes competition, but the entry numbers were very low, so we switched to our Winter Challenge competition. When we returned to the Clubhouse and drew the Raffle for the Annual Christmas Hamper, which was donated by Polly Allen and won by Carolyn Dowle. A huge thank you to Polly and congratulations to Carolyn.  

Tues 24th Dec    Xmas Eve Florida Scramble. A mixed competition organised by the Club Captain, Al Bowyer and a few “helpers”.  This was for all Members and Guests. It was a large turnout with 61 people in total. The largest number of entrants anyone can remember!  The winners were Bird’s the Word and second Vice Capt.’s Team. The winning guest team was Xmas Hackers and Slackers. 

That is all for 2024. I wish you all a very HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR
