P R G C - LADIES SECTION
May/June Newsletter from The Lady Captain
May has been very busy, and our summer calendar is even busier. We look forward to plenty of exciting golf both locally and with other clubs in the County and beyond.
Wed 7th We changed the format to one of our ladies morning competitions and still had a most enjoyable morning. We were due to play our medal competition but had to cancel this at the last minute.
From Monday the 12th to Wednesday the 14th, we attended our annual three-day break at Staverton Park. What a wonderful trip. All credit must go to our Social Team consisting of Rosie Brand and Val Bate. They organised the golf. the accommodation, the food and the entertainment. The good weather also helped as it was sunshine all the way! A brilliant time was had by all, so our thanks go to these 2 ladies for all their hard work. The main competition for The White Horse Trophy was won by Val Bate and the runner up was Jill Peppett. Congratulations to both ladies.
Thursday 15th We played our first League Match of the season against the ladies from Weston Turville. Our ladies played exceptionally well and beat them resoundingly by 3 matches to zero. A maximum 6 points on the scoreboard for us. Well done ladies.
Sunday 18th Ladies Open Day . What a success! Our thanks must go to the clubhouse team, the greenkeepers, Bruce Loome, our Pro and the lady members who helped on the day. Last but certainly not least our thanks must go to Sue Pomeroy, our County Rep and one of our match organisers. Sue, who was the instigator of this Open Day, with the help of Sarah (our clubhouse manager) and Luke (our Pro Shop Manager) have greatly managed to increase the numbers of our Lady members here at PRGC. On the day we all had a great time meeting these ladies who liked what they saw in our club and wanted to join. We have recruited 6 flexi members and 1 new 7 day member so far. Some are return to golf ladies, some are “have had lessons but want to learn more” while others are completely new and are having “first time” lessons with Bruce Loome our Club Pro. Whichever category these ladies are in, our Ladies Section here at PRGC sincerely welcome them to the club and we look forward to introducing them to more of our members and helping them to enjoy their journey into golf.
Wed 21st Seniors Cup This was a greatly contested competition and was won by Chris Hallett, so well done Chris.
Sat 10th and Wed 28th These are the dates we played the monthly Medal. Sat for the weekend players and wed for the weekday members. 13 ladies entered and the competition was won by Christine Stevens with a nett score of 69. Alma Piddington was second with a nett score of 73. Congratulations to both ladies.
