The long awaited Women's Foursomes Championships went ahead without a hitch and plenty of new pairings this year made for very interesting competition and results.

A touch of summer prevailed for the annual Maureen Knaggs Super 6 Knockout competition today. The warmer conditions were tempered by a lazy southerly breeze and a modicum of cloud cover which enabled the 22 participants to finish the round without too much heat stress. While the conditions weren't too warm, the competition was hot [...]
The Super 6 Knockout is an exciting annual event and 23 players turned out to qualify for the Knockout Match Play round scheduled for next week. Historically, the Maureen Knaggs Knockout competition used to be held over the Christmas break in January/ February. However, the summer heat and family holidays limited the participation and it [...]
Springtime has arrived but one could be excused for thinking that maybe it was merely a rumour this morning. It takes courage to take the step to bare the legs after a long, cold winter and the early morning was feeling a little too cool around the knees. However, all our fears were put to [...]
Ellen Ryan was able to order perfect weather for her sponsorship event of a 2BBB Stableford and the morning began with an early shotgun start with everyone as "keen as mustard" to get down to business.

A glorious morning greeted the 21 members who were able to venture out on the composite wet weather course for a stableford competition. It was unfortunate that motorised transport was not allowed on the course today due to the moisture on the ground after the deluge earlier in the week. This meant that some players, [...]
Jack Frost arrived at the course this morning looking for a game today. He was told in no uncertain terms that firstly he was ineligible to play as it was a women's competition and secondly he was blowing too much cold air. He was sent packing very quickly and the beautiful sunshine that followed gradually [...]
