Phew that was Close!!

A win for Carol Eldridge up the 19th ensured Team West Malling got their third win of the season with a 4 - 3 score. And what made Carol's win even more impressive was that she came from 3 down after 8 holes to win showing that a match is never lost until the last putt! Very well done Carol!

In what was a very tense encounter between two well matched teams many games were won or lost by a 2 &1 score! Debbie Conder & Rena Jones both won 2 & 1 whilst Caroline Harrison & Lindsay Hart lost by that score. Julie Harris won 4 & 3 whilst Kelly Hanson lost out to old foe Jenny Spedding 5 & 3. The match was so close that both teams ended up with 9 points!

Well done ladies, a good result from a very close match! I know it was difficult out there today what with the snow break but you all played your part to get the win.

We now turn our attention to Cherry Lodge and we will be confirming the arrangements for a practice round shortly.

Latest News from Golf Club

The snow has gone but the course remains closed.
They are hoping to open tomorrow but with some temporary greens.
As you will know Pearson matches can go ahead as long as there are no more than 6 temporary greens so we will have to wait and see how many there are before making a final decision about Thursdays match.
Please watch this space.......

Pearson matches w/c 13th February 2012

The match tomorrow has been cancelled. Knole Park is still covered in snow and is likely to remain closed until possibly Thursday.

The match has been re-arranged for Friday 9th March with a 10am meet for a 10.30am start. If anyone is unavailable on this date please let me know.

I am now looking at Thursdays match against Ashford. As most of you know West Malling is also covered in snow and it is too early to know whether it will have cleared for Thursdays match. I will be checking with the club on a daily basis but the decision to play may have to be left until the last minute.

Just in case we can play the team will be:

Kelly Hanson
Debbie Conder
Caroline Harrison
Lindsay Hart
Stella Pitt
Julie Harris
Carol Eldridge

Reserve: Rena Jones

Please confirm your availability asap.

Thanks

Skipper's been to South Africa!!




Skipper has been to South Africa with Julie while we have all been enduring the snow!! He sent us this message:
just to let you know that I've just come back from a couple of weeks of golf in South Africa with Julie and Joe. We all had a great time - the golf courses were amazing and I've attached a couple of photos of me enjoying myself at Simola Golf course in Knysna. Can't wait for the next holiday....
lots of love

We are very pleased that Skipper had a good time and hope that his (and Julie's) golf reflects the benefits of this training opportunity (holiday)! N.B. I am sure that Joe enjoys taking the 'photos.


Skipper says" Date for your diaries: Thursday June 28th RNLI competition!".

Knole Park Away

If you haven't already heard tomorrow's match at Knole Park has been cancelled due to the snow. We now have the task of re-arranging the match which is never an easy one!!

Knole Park are asking if we could play next Tuesday 14th February. Whilst I would not normally want to play two matches in the same week I do think we have a big enough squad to go with this. To help me make a decision could I please ask you all to confirm your availability next week, i.e. are you available for both matches or if you can only play one match which one. If you could let me have this information ASAP that would be very helpful.

I will let you know what is arranged as soon as I can.

Thanks

Debbie Tennant
Debbie Conder
Caroline Harrison
Lindsay Hart
Judith Parkhurst
Stella Pitt

Reserve: Rena Jones

Please confirm your availability asap.

I have not yet heard from the Knole Park captain confirming the match but have it in my diary as a 10am meet for a 10.30am start. If this changes I will let you know.

The practice rounds at Knole Park were both played in dreadful weather so lets keep our fingers crossed that we are luckier with the weather on match day!!

Tuesday, 31 January 2012

Well done to the ladies who played against the vets today, it was very cold and damp, with sleet for the whole round, on this occasion the men won, 5-3

Rena won 4 and 3, Carol won on 18, Judith and Diana halved their matches. Lindsay lost on 18,
Pat D, Sue and Pat W lost, but all these men play well, e.g the man who Pat West played against has a handicap of 15 but today played to a handicap of 8.

Let's hope next time we play them the weather is better, thanks ladies.

Practice Round at Knole Park

I have finally been able to sort this out!

We are going to Knole Park in 2 groups:

Thursday 26th January
Kelly
Pat Donovan
Judith
Rena
Carol Eldridge
Lindsay

Tuesday 31st January
Caroline
Debbie Tennant
Helen Venis
Helen Stuart
Stella
Christine Pearce

On both days we will be aiming to tee off at 10.30 but have to put balls in the chute per Brenda's previous post.
We will need to play in 3 balls and will cover the cost of the 4 extra rounds ( only 8 courtesy rounds allowed) between us.

Hope you are all OK with this and that the weather is kind to us.

It is still my intention to play the vets on Tuesday 31st January and am waiting for the vets to let me know how many men they have for the game. I will let you know as soon as I get this info so that I can sort out our team.
