Good Afternoon Ladies,
September was not a great month for golf, especially on a Wednesday! The golf gods were against us! The Wishlade Trophy was a prime example. It was scheduled for 3rd of Sept and we actually managed to play it on 1st October.
Wed 3rd Sept No organised golf played
Wed 10th Sept No organised golf played
Mon 15th Sept League Ryder Cup 8 Ladies took part in this final County League match of 2025. The weather gods were still out in force with wind, wind and more wind. However it did not stop us enjoying our golf and the lovely meal after the match.
Our thanks must go to Chris Stevens for all her hard work organising these matches throughout the season. We look forward to next year.
Wed 17th Sept Lady Captains Charity Day The gods were with us! It was Charity Day after all! What a great Day we had. Carolyn Dowle was our winner and she went home with a beautiful trophy and a useful prize, so she said. Well done Carolyn.
As for our Charity we added the wonderful sum of £377 to the pot. A huge thank you must go to all who donated prizes. Their generosity is so appreciated. Also a big thank you must go to Val Bate. She is now crowned Queen of Raffle Ticket Sellers. We now have the grand total of £1411.65.
I think the Ladies Section should be very proud to have raised that amount of money from such a small group. My heartfelt thanks for a charity that I feel is so deserving.
Fri 19th Sept 2 of our ladies took part in the Friday Mixed Stableford and showed the men how to play golf. Jill Peppett came in 1st and Chris Stevens was 2nd. Well done ladies.
Mon 22nd Sept Again the ladies took part in a mixed event. It was the final RAGS day of the year and was held at Studley Wood. 10 ladies took part and 12 gentlemen. A good number, and we had a great day which was expertly organised by John Stephenson. Our thanks go to him. The winner of the ladies trophy was Jill and the longest drive for the ladies was Chris Stevens. Again well done ladies.
These last two events are open to any members so if anyone is interested please get in touch with any committee member and we will give you all the info to join in the fun.
Wed 24th Sept A fun ladies informal morning with only Irons and a Putter in the bag. Ladies soon found out just how often they used their irons! The scores did the talking!
Yours truly won(that is because I cannot use Woods) and 2nd was Gerry. Well done Gerry.
Mon 29th Sept The Finals for Summer Singles and the Summer Pairs was played . The Singles Champion is Jill Peppett and the Pairs Champions are Melinda Pooley and Gill Young. Both were very close matches so well done all.
Events for October
Wed 1st Oct The Wishlade Trophy As I write this has already taken place. It was won by a very delighted Sylvia Clarke and was presented by the lovely lady herself Lynne Wishlade. So a big thank you to Lynne for coming to present the trophy to Sylvia.

This has been called by the ladies committee due to the uncertainty within the club's committee of volunteers. We would like to discuss with our lady members how we go forward next year and remain as an active group within PRGC.
Your opinion as members really matters to us, so please try and find the time to attend if possible.
