Last but not least

I would like to say a massive thank you to the ladies section for my beautiful flowers and gift presented to me at the ladies AGM on Thursday. So very kind of you all, I am lost for words. But, I can feel a few new golf clubs coming my way which hopefully will improve my game next season! Thank you all so much xx

Have a good week ladies!
