Sat 3rd April Stringball Eleven golfers turned out today for the 2021 Stringball challenge. You get a length of string proportional to your handicap to use anywhere on the course to move the ball. Larks and japes! Perfect example of dead weight putting from Lizzie...! Fiona struck her way round the course beautifully, hardly bothering with the string... After a lot of maths, we had the following scores... Results Fiona net score 55.6 Lizzie 60.3 Gill 60.6 Well done Fiona, a resounding victory. And back to the clubhouse for the absolutely scrumptious Viennese…

We had 7 players turn out for the fun and games. A terrific performance in variable (!) conditions gave Janette a great victory, one point ahead of Erica and Elizabeth in joint 2nd. Also a mention is due to Elena who got the only 2 of the day at the 4th (the celebrations…

A respectable turnout of 9 golfers for the final Saturday fixture of the autumn-spring season - the May medal. We held a maximum score medal to get us back into the swing of competitions. And more practice with our WHS calculations...the gift that keeps on giving. Conditions were mostly pretty good, though it got a wee bit chilly and showery near the end. We had our first two in a while... step forward for applause: Annie on the 4th. Erica will be paying a visit soon with one of those briefcases you padlock to your wrist! There were…

What a difference a day makes! After a hot bath and shedding a few tears, can I congratulate Vice-Captain Walker and his team on their win. It was a crushing defeat for my team but I am already plotting revenge for next year. I have already been practicing my putting with the wooden spoon and figuring out how to nobble Janette and Bobby. We'll be back! Can I thank all the participants for their presence it was greatly appreciated and particularly their contributions to The Lady Captain's Charity. A super sum of £167.51 was raised for the DG Children's Ward.…
