Ladies SPRING Weekend Away - Report
23-25 March

Thirty four members and partners attended the spring weekend away, including five new members, experiencing a weekend golfing debut with their usual Sunday colleagues. Some excesses were reported! However, they did say they would repeat the experience.

The chilling easterly wind and rain for two days did not dampen the enthusiasm, especially when Sunday became sunny and all the intrepid golfers forgot the icy conditions of the previous two days. Although the scoring was not record breaking owing to the windy conditions, we have mainly happy memories of our visit.

This includes the wonderful birdlife on the course, the pleasant rooms with balconies overlooking the lake or swimming pool, the log fire in the bar and the well cooked food.

The greens were our bête noire, resulting in high putting scores. The golf course was relatively newly constructed (in the last 10 years), with small plantations of trees (giving relief – in more ways than one – to all entering).

Thanks go to Julie Smith for the organisation.

The Spring Weekend Away has a Ladies' Trophy awarded to the overall winner and this year the Lockie Trophy was awarded to Maureen Slade.

Prizes were also presented for nearest the pin, and Saturday and Sunday team events and second and third positions.
