Not the best of weather for our first match of the season!!!
We always knew that Sundridge Park was going to be a tough match and it was.
Helen Venis played the opening shot for West Malling, giving 2 shots to a very steady opponent was not easy and Helen lost 2 down.
New to the team was Donna Chuter, a baptism of fire comes to mind, she had to give 6 shots!
Donna had never played the course before and at one point was 7 down, but rallied to lose 3 and 2.
Caroline Harrison also had a tough match giving 5 shots, taking the match to the 19th in pouring rain be not quite able to win.
Julie Harris had to give 2 shots but dug deep to win on the 18th.
Sue Gofton gave 3 shots and also took her match to the 19th, in heavy rain, unfortunately losing her ball, she had to play 3 off the tee, but a great effort.
Carol Eldridge lost 4 and 3, with Diana Scott last but no means least winning 4 and 3.
So we lost overall 5 - 2, but with a points difference of only 6.
Well done ladies!!
The return match is on Tuesday 26th November, 9.30 for 10am.
West Malling Golf Club - Four County Champions 2012
Unlucky ladies - but let's not forget that the last time we played Sundridge Park it was to get into the Kent Finals day - only Carol and I won away and we came back thinking we were going to be out of it. But that's not the West Malling way!! We dug in deep and 5 of us won in the return match and by bigger margins and therefore we went through on points - so we know we can do it again, don't we!! So good luck for the return: 'Come on the girls!' Lindsay
ReplyDeleteWhat a horrible day to play a game of golf and certainly not great taking the game down the 19th - but Lindsay is right - we can overturn this result !!! Come on WM ladies !!
