The sun shone brightly for the Autumn meeting today making it a pleasure to play in the the Chris Leary Chalice. Forty ladies played and two others joined us for a tasty lunch of quiche, parmentier potatoes and salad, followed by fruit salad and cream. The Chris Leary Chalice is a stableford qualifying competition and the trophy is presented to the winner at the end of the day after all the cups and trophies won since the Spring Meeting have been presented. It was a full day of fun and frivolity, with plenty of banter and good humour. Nearest the pin was won by Marica Kelland and Sarah Faircliff took the prize for the longest drive after an absolute ‘monster’ on the 18th hole. Margaret Gentle won the the best front 9 with a massive 23 points. Pauline Harrison took the prize for best back 9 on countback with 20 points, just pipping Marion Dix into second place. However, Pauline Humphrey was the overall winner of the day with a fabulous 39 points on countback from Virginia Chan. Well done to everyone who took part and a big ‘thank you’ to Joel and his team for serving us with such a delicious meal and helping to make this a memorable day for the Ladies.
