Lady Captain’s Weekly News 16th December 2024

What is this weather!!! From leaving Spain in sunshine and arriving back to hailstorms, torrential rain – 30 litres fell in half an hour on Thursday. The course has taken a battering, but the ground staff as always led by Borja have been on it. The course was closed for Thursday and Friday, reopened on Saturday for the Monthly Medal.

A huge thank you goes to Helen Seamer and her committee of Judith, Caroline & Tracey. The Pantomime at the Palladium was a roaring success – The lunch at the Amalfi was perfect followed by a quick Karaoke organised by Alicia (Tammy’s daughter) and a chance to do some Christmas shopping!! Thank you for including everyone – Can’t wait to see what you organise next year – no pressure!!!!!

As you can see from the scoring it was tough on the Course. As I mentioned earlier the course and especially the mulch caused problems for the intrepid 7 who braved the conditions. A few comments were made about the order of play – We will be addressing this in the next commission meeting.
