Ladies Ford Salver
Just to let you know that the Ford Salver Final has now been played after being postponed from Finals Day due to injury. The match was between Eve Childs and Carole D'Ammassa. Eve was the eventual winner, congratulations to both ladies on reaching the final!
Ladies Captains Fun Day
Last Wednesday, Lesley hosted a fun Texas Scramble event (with a twist!), there was also a distinctly Halloween feel to the day too!
The prize winners were as follows:
1st Place - Sandy Hill, Hilda Shields & Gina Peacock - Nett 75.3
2nd Place - Heather Priestly, Jackie Parkins & Gill Vowles - Nett 75.7
3rd Place - Sandra Jones, June Mills & Maggie Philpot - Nett 76.3
As you can see the scoring was very closely matched with only one shot covering the first three groups.

"Winning today, I feel has got me closer to being able to compete a lot better in the Major tournaments. My next goal is, of course, to win a Major and I'm going to do all that I can to prepare well for that."
These comments were made by Japan's Hideki Matsuyama following his victory in last week's WGC-HSBC Champions event.
The four Majors aside, there's nothing quite like winning a World Golf Championships event. Many see it as a sign that the winner is ready to compete at the highest level, and this is certainly the case for Matsuyama.
The 24-year-old fired 29 birdies over the week to finish seven clear of Henrik Stenson and Daniel Berger on 23-under-par. To put this achievement into perspective, only Tiger Woods has managed to win a WGC event by seven shots or more - something he's done on four separate occasions. Not bad company to hold.
Whether it was Matsuyama's ability to consistently hit fairways and greens or his solid short game that impressed you the most, make sure you come and see one of the team to get your game in shape this winter.
