2nd: Lynda Lancaster, Jane Mantell & Helen Pollard on countback with 69

3rd: Sandy Bushby, Theresa Young & Jan Devlin on countback with 69

The weather was not kind and even dished up a bit of rather heavy rain driving everyone into the chalet for a 'light' serving of mulled wine ( well for most!!), pork pies, sausage rolls, stollen and mince pies in the plural!!  But 16 teams made it round with head torches needed for the rearguard of Judy, Gill and Steph!

Christmas outfits were mandatory and some very dodgy headgear was in evidence, still not sure about the chicken that chalet maid Fennie was sporting !

 
 !

And the master bakers were in evidence big time

The secret of the winners at the half way house fueled on Christmas biscuits from team member Helen Haynes

Jayne just wanted everyone to appreciate her jumper!!

LADIES COMPETITION SURVEY RESULTS

 

We had 45 ladies complete the survey. So not a bad survey size for our section.  Looking ahead: Ladies Comps committee have met to discuss the findings in detail and are looking at ways to respond, so watch this space!

An overview of the results are as follows:

TIMING:  55% felt we had the right mix of weekday and weekend comps. 35% would like to see more weekday comps and of the 35%, most cited commitments at weekends as the problem.

REASONS FOR ENTERING:  there were equal numbers of votes for enjoying social and competitive golf and maintaining a handicap

REASONS FOR NOT ENTERING: these centred largely around availability at weekends and weekdays, not format or cost, with only 8 citing a preference to do general play cards

TYPE OF GOLF PLAYED: competitive golf was the majority choice here, with only 8 citing social golf only

FORMAT: the most popular request was for more fun comps (28 responses), then more mixed (15) and more Stablefords (15), more pairs comps (15) and finally a very small number asked for the occasional drawn comp to mix players up (3).   There were single requests for:    a) divisions in Stablefords   b) an inclusive Tuesday comp.   c) more bogey comps,  d) a dedicated Thursday roll up.

THANK YOU LADIES FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION
