League Match v Staffordshire 2014

On Sunday 29th June the junior scratch team kept their heads and carried on their winning streak with a 5-1 victory against Staffordshire Girls, on a showery afternoon at Trent Lock.

Staffordshire were only able to bring one player for the handicap team so Jessica Bailey had a difficult job giving 18 shots; she fought hard but her opponent managed to win the match. The remainder of our handicap team, Emma Anderson, Jacey Peacock and Amie Whelan played 2-way matchplay between each other and Jacey Peacock was the winner.

Another great result - well done girls!

Friendly Match v Mapperley 2014

Mapperley2014aA team of 8 girls with handicaps ranging from 12 to 26 played against the Mapperley Ladies in a greensome matchplay format.
The weather was perfect and the course was beautifully manicured. The girls won the match by 3 games to 1.

They all played well and it was good to see how well they worked together as partners - discussing the shots with each other. There is much experience to be gained by playing on a not too familiar course and having to cope with the tricky contours. Also it is good practice to be playing greensomes as this is similar to the foursomes format which is an important part of the ladies inter-county matches.

We are grateful to the Mapperley Ladies for hosting this match and providing the meals. A vote of thanks was given by Emma Anderson as acting Captain for the day.
