Princes Risborough Golf Club
APRIL NEWSLETTER FROM YOUR LADIES COMMITTEE
Hello Ladies
The ladies were most unfortunate this month as due to weather the only competition played was the Weekend March Stableford. This was won by Jill Peppett, so many congratulations Jill.
Although we did not play golf on many of the Wednesdays, we did get together and have morning coffee and lunch when the competitions were cancelled. We had an especially nice surprise lunch for Jill on her birthday, which happened to fall on a Wednesday!
However, the Quiz night on 17 March was a great success, with nearly a hundred people attending. It was wonderful to see the club so full and it seemed as though everyone had a most enjoyable time, with a very good buffet provided by Tricia. The quiz was organised by the MND Charity and they provided the quiz master, with sterling help from Sue Pomeroy. The quiz was won by the Mens Captain’s team and runner-up was the Vice-Captain’s team. A few good-natured cries of “Fixed” were heard but the great news is that £656 was raised in aid of our captains’ charities, with £328 being given to each of the MND and MS charities.
The other good news is that the twice postponed Away Day at Wycombe Heights Par 3 course was eventually played on 27 March. It was a beautiful day with brilliant sunshine and the results of the competition were:
Winner Jill Peppett
Fewest Putts Liz France
Nearest the pin Chris Hallett
Well done ladies.
