COURTESY ROUND at KNOLE PARK
We have arranged a courtesy round at Knole Park GC on Tuesday, 24th January prior to our match there on February 7th.
Knole Park do not have tee times as such but they have noted that we will be playing and suggest that we could get going between 1030 and 1100. When we arrive we need to put balls in a shoot! ( someone will explain!)
We will play in threeballs and can take twelve players with the usual county card cost shared between all.
Please make a note of the dates and Helen will be in touch with further details.

Two out of Two
A terrific 4 - 3 win at Ashford gave Team West Malling their second win of the season despite having to make two late changes to the team due to the withdrawal of Kelly Hanson & Caroline Harrison.
Carol Eldridge overcame the disappointment of her previous match to demolish her opponent 7 & 6 whilst Debbie Tennant showed her class beating the Ashford Pearson captain 6 & 5. Julie Harris notched up her second win of the season winning 3 & 2 whilst Lindsay Hart responded to the pressure of playing in third spot to win 2 & 1.
Helen Venis found her opponents short game too hot to handle going down 5 & 3 with Stella Pitt (4 & 2)and Rena Jones (2 & 1) also losing out.
A terrific result ladies. Ashford normally do very well in this competition and only last year made Finals Day so to beat them on their own course was a great achievement.
Thanks to Helen & Rena for standing in at the last moment and to Sue, Val and Kelly for their support on the day.
Our next match is in February but depending on the weather we will be planning a Get Together for January and also a courtesy round at Knole Park so please check the BLOG regularly for information.
Once again FANTASTIC!!

Team West Malling started their season in style with a 5 -2 win at home against Knole Park on Thursday 24th November.
Leading the way was Caroline Harrison who upset the Knole Park Lady Captain by beating her 7 & 6. (Caroline I don't hold out much hope of you getting into any opens next year at Knole Park!). Our other winners were Debbie Conder, Stella Pitt and Julie Harris who all had impressive 4 & 2 wins with Kelly Hanson showing her normal determination winning her match up the 19th. Our five wins gave us an impressive 20 points in the bag.
Lindsay Hart lost a very close match on the 18th (1 down) and Carol Eldridge lost on the 17th (2 & 1) giving Knole Park just 3 points from their two wins.
Ladies a terrific first win of the season. A real confidence booster for the season ahead. WELL DONE!

12 ladies played against the 'elite' vets yesterday, it began with the usual (from the vets) How are we playing this match? The ladies never have a problem with the format, anyway the match was played in the usual good spirit. The result was 71/2 - 31/2 to the ladies.
Wins for Caroline, Sue S, Helen V, Judith, Lyndsay, Christine and Carol E. Debbie T halved her match. Losses for Pat D, Sue G, Marion and Rena, but these matches where close with Pat losing on the 16th and Rena on the 18th.
Everyone enjoyed the day and are ready for the next encounter.

Get Together Tuesday 1st November 2011
Sixteen ladies turned out for our second Get Together of this Pearson season and took on a very strong opponent, the course! There were some excellent scores on the day, Julie, Lindsay and Rena all matching the course at all square with Carol Eldridge going one better beating the course by one hole. But the performance of the day was from Christine Pearce who beat the course 3 up. Well done Chris.
Our matches start in just three weeks and today's results show that we have a number of ladies in good form.
Thank you ladies for your continued enthusiasm for the Pearson competition and for turning out despite the pouring rain just before our start time! Everyone enjoyed the format and it is definitely something we will do again.

Yesterday's Get Together
Fourteen ladies turned out for our first Get Together yesterday and it was good to see everyone for our first official practice day. In particular it was good to welcome Marion to her first Pearson event.
Playing matchplay on the Hurricane there were wins for Brenda, Kelly, Lindsay, Judith, Marion, Jean and Carol. Well done to you all.
Items discussed yesterday:
As our first match is not until the end of November we have changed our plans for the next get together on Tuesday 1st November. We will not approach the vets for a game that day but instead will play matchplay against the course (the copper beech format) and hopefully many of you will be able to make that day.
We will approach the vets for a possible match the following week.
We will also be sorting out possible dates for a practice round at Ashford.
Please continue with the Round Robin matches and remember to text me the results. I have put contact details on the blog to make arranging these easier for you.
Once again thanks to all those ladies taking part in yesterday's get together, it was good to see you all.

Get Together Thursday 13th October 2011
Our first Get Together is on Thursday 13th October 2011 at 9am.
Our plans for the day are slightly hampered by the fact that there is a big vets match on the Spitfire course on the same day starting at 7.45am. It would therefore seem sensible for us to play on the Hurricane on Thursday.
I hope many of you will be able to join us on the day and would ask you to add your name to this post if you are attending. If you have also arranged to play a round robin match on the day can you also add this as well.
Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday.
