Club Day is looming don’t forget to pay for lunch at Club Reception by 13th March or you will not be catered for and please don’t forget to bring a bottle to donate to the EWGA Bottle Raffle which raises money for England girls’ golf.
Derry
I cannot express the result better than Jane! ‘Marvellous is what I say! All a bit touch and go with the weather and if we would lose home advantage, but the course was open with four temporary greens which we are allowed. Having lost 2/1 away we really had to try to win 3/0 at home which is a big ask. We did it, Jo won 5/4, Lorna won 3/2 and I won 4/3. Well done to Jo and Lorna as they beat the girls to whom they had lost away.’
Pearson
The Pearson squad have drawn Burhill in the first round of the knockout phase of the competition and their first match is at home on 16th March, so we wish them dry weather and good luck.
Knockouts
The draws are out so please ensure you contact your opponents and put a couple of dates in the diary!

Match clinics
Jake and Charlotte ran an excellent clinic for the Ladies’ Friendly Golf Squad on Monday. If you have ever wondered if you can play 9 holes from the practice range – you can! And we had plenty of rules quizzes too. There are still a few spaces left in the clinics for the rest of the month, so sign up or see Jake in the Sports Shop and he can add you onto the lists.
