Chesfield Downs Ladies Section

Captain's Newsletter - 10 January 2021

Good evening ladies,

I hope you are all keeping well and safe during these uncertain times. Better days ahead I am sure.

Well, not a lot of golfing news to report. The next big event on the agenda is the Megan Bonner Par 3 Championship which is due to take place on 25th February. Fingers crossed we will be back in full force by then.

Winter KO

Unfortunately the winter KO has been suspended due to government restrictions. A new deadline will be set for completing matches when it is appropriate to do so.

Pearson Matches

The Inter County Pearson Management Committee met on January 8th and it was decided, due to the uncertainty, to get matches played during the current lockdown situation it was agreed that, with regret, the competition must be cancelled until Autumn 2021/22. I would like to thank Linda B for all her time and organisation of the matches.

Some Good News

A few of our ladies have started receiving their first dose of the Covid 19 vaccine. Jenny has just had hers! Great news Jenny! We look forward to hearing that many more have had the call!

Chesfield Downs Ladies Section ‘Just Giving Page’

We now have a Chesfield Downs Ladies’ Section ‘Just Giving Page’. This will allow the transfer of funds seamlessly to our charity during 2021. It’s a great way of advertising our charity and means everyone can watch the amount going up and up! However, we still plan to have a presentation of the final amount raised after our Greensomes in December. Please feel free to donate at any time!

That’s it for this week.
Be careful out there!

Kind regards
