LADIES CHALLENGE CUP FINAL

The Challenge Cup final was played today between Mary Gates and Kay Hircock. Starting off in steady rain, both players played boldly down to the first green. A game of two halves, Mary receiving eight shots and Kay receiving six green side bunkers! Mary played a very steady and impressive game, rewarded with a 5 and 3 win.  

Well done Mary!

LADY CAPTAIN'S DAY WITH A SCOTTISH FLAIR

 On Saturday the 1st of July the ladies of Burghley Golf Club were treated to a wonderful day by Ladies' Captain Anne Harrison Smith filled with Scottish surprises which included a piper, bonny Scots Lads at the halfway house and a wonderful demonstration of highland dancing in the clubhouse. 

The Piper

The ladies played in teams of three all dressed in interesting Scottish costumes. Lady Captain Anne Harrison-Smith personally greeted each team before play and their pictures were kindly taken by the Men's Captain Trevor Smith. The Official starter was Drew Farrell. The teams teed off to the sound of the pipes. 

Anne and Drew

At the Halfway house the ladies were treated to Pimms, Prosecco and lots of tasty eats and cakes. 

Chris and Phil looked after all the ladies!

There was also a competition on the 16th to try and beat Trevor's shot to the green. He had to use a club suggested by the teams.
