P R G C LADIES SECTION
June/July Newsletter from The Lady Captain
June has been extremely busy, and July looks even busier. We have had very good weather so have been able to play lots of golf.
MON 2nd We started off with a RAGS fixture at North Oxford GC . The weather was good, the course was good, and the golf was not too bad either! If any more ladies wish to join this group, please let Jill, Melinda, myself or any committee member know and we will get your name on the list. It is a good way to play other courses with fellow members.
Wed 4th This was an informal morning, and we played off the gold tees. The winners were Carolyn Dowle and Gill Young so well done ladies.
Thurs 5th We played a League Match against the ladies from Chiltern Forest, and the weather was foul as it rained all morning. Unfortunately, Chiltern Forest could not get a full team together so there were only 6 playing in each team. Not only was the weather against us but so were the golfing gods and we lost the match. Better golfing next time ladies.
Wed 11th Monthly Medal We only had 10 entrants for this event as several ladies were on holiday. There were some good scores, and the winner was Alma Piddington with a nett 66. Second was Jules Bendell with a nett 68. Congratulations ladies.
WED 18th Lady Captains Day and Dinner Again the weather was great and a very happy and pleasant day was had by all. 18 holes of golf, a great halfway house run by Rosie and Sarah and a lovely lunch served up by Trishia and her staff. We all returned in the evening for a lovely dinner and presentation ceremony for the winners.
Nearest the Pin was Donna Convery. Nearest the String was Val Bate.
Front Nine Chris Hallett with 22 points. Back Nine Pauline Allen with 23 points.
The Winner of the Lady Captains Trophy was Gill Young with 47 points. Well played and congratulations to all these ladies.
My thanks must also go to Alan Austin who came along yet again to run our competition for nearest the string. His help is very much appreciated.
Sat 21st and Sun 22nd The Club Championships The weather was very good on both days. This year was a much reduced field. I think again a lot of people were on holiday. However it did not stop those who were there enjoying themselves and playing good golf. The Handicap Winner was Donna Convery with a nett 66. The Club Champion was Jill Peppett with a nett 65. Very well done to both these ladies.
Wed 25th Ladies Morning No competition was held. It was very hot and too few ladies were available to play.
