Our very own most Senior Swindin Winner 2024

This post is somewhat overdue but very deserving of even a late announcement. 

 Chris Clarke and her partner John Goff recently triumphed in the final of the 2024 Mixed Swindin Knockout held annually at Burghley Park GC.  

It was a narrow but significant victory over the very experienced and long standing partnership of Elaine Brown and Dave Tilley. 

Congratulations to them both. Chris must be one of our most most senior (and cherished) members to win the Swindin.  

We look forward to seeing your name on the Honours Board, well done Chris.

And of course commiserations to Elaine and Dave.

ANNUAL LUNCH AND COMPETITION

 Forty ladies participated in the Annual Competition today. Despite the mud and rain, spirits were high as they played a foursomes format over 14 holes. Afterwards over sixty ladies attended the excellent lunch and were well looked after by Sam Dyer and his team. There were wonderful prizes for the winners as well as a wee present for all participants. Elspeth Irvine, Margaret Middleton and Joan Hickman worked hard to make it a successful day despite there being a number of dropouts due to illness and minor accidents. Elspeth was presented with beautiful flowers created by Maggie. Finally, Elspeth was able to announce that over £350.00 in donations had been raised for EACH-East Anglia Children's Hospice.

LADIES INVITATION DAY - 26TH SEPTEMBER 2024

Fifteen teams checked the forecast and were thrilled to see the rain would hold off, allowing everyone to enjoy a round of golf, get in before the rain and chicken cesar salad afterwards.

The course was in excellent condition despite the previous day's rain. A brief heavy shower on one hole didn't dampen their spirits; the sun quickly dried everything up.

The weather held up beautifully until the final group, who unfortunately encountered a sudden downpour with thunder and lightning, forcing them to stop play on the 17th tee. Thankfully, Michelle Powell stepped in to ensure fair competition by deciding the winner would be based on the 16 holes played.
