Captain's Newsletter - 11 July 2021

Thursday saw the 2nd round of our club championships. We all waited with baited breath while our three top ladies Virginia, Pat W and Sally W approached the 18th green. They were giving nothing away as they entered the club house. Once the scores were in our Club Champion was declared. Congratulations to Virginia a very worthy winner, runner up Pat W. Congratulations also go to Angela H who came in with an amazing nett score of 65 for the second round, and winning the Angela Chatterton Cup, well done ladies, what a great day!
