Ladies
New Galloway Golf Club has an friendly, active Ladies section.
We welcome new members whether you are a complete beginner, a ‘returner’ or a slick pro!
Opens
The Glenkens Salver (greensomes, Saturday 27th May) and Muirhead Rosebowl (individual, Sat 12th August) have both been cancelled in 2023.
We plan to run both these Opens again in 2024. I’ll post the dates here once we finalise the 2024 fixture list. We’d love to see you back for these!
Playing Times
During the winter (September to March) we play in a Winter League on Saturdays. We meet up in time to tee off at 10.00.
We draw for playing order and usually go out groups of 2’s and 3’s.
In summer (March to September) we play on Wednesday mornings – though sometimes a few go out in the afternoon instead.
We draw for teeing order and start teeing off at 10.00.
We play monthly medals throughout the year – usually the first or second week in the month.
These are generally in the Max Score format to make them as beginner-friendly as possible.

Three Club Competition
It seems to have been a long time since we played the 3 Club competition on New Year’s day. It was a great start to the year with a most convivial get together in the clubhouse. The weather was particularly kind to us where the forecast rain failed to turn up leaving us with bright skies. Congratulations to Guy Pumpr on scoring 29 Points, one point more from examination of his card. Ashley Turgoose came second with 28 and Sandy Harvie with 27 points. Next week will be the winter League with a draw at 9.30 by Wave and another draw at 12.00 by Sandy. Players are required to make out their own cards for the draws and place £3 in the envelopes in the changing room. Please do not seal the envelopes.
The Davies Cup
The Davies Cup We played today – an abbreviated 6 holes due to icy conditions. One threesome went out… https://newgallowaygolfclub.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/gill-elf.mov Full results available on MasterScoreboard.
Ladies – social sweep
It was just a bit too dreich and blustery to entertain the thought of 18 long holes. Especially with the forecast so poor. So all six intrepid golfers headed out instead of a quick social sweep over 9 holes. It was windy and rainy all the way round. Fortunately, we’re all nails so there was hardly any whining to be heard. Mainly because we had so many layers of hats on. Nobody made it round blob-free. But a creditable three of us managed to hold it down to a single blip. On a few tees, the odd golfer was blown off-balance by the gusts. But we soldiered on… We scooted round at a fair lick and got back to the clubhouse to the delightful sight of fresh muffins courtesy of Gerry. How kind! Banana, maple syrup & walnut muffins still hot from the oven… On the drookit scorecards, it appeared to be a tie between Elena & me for top spot. Next week, we’ll try the medal again and hope the weather is kinder to us.
