GIRLS 1st STABLEFORD COMPETITION
The first of the Stableford Series was played at Sutton Coldfield Golf Club on Sunday 7 April 2019. It was a cloudy day and very cold in the morning although it did warm up slightly by the afternoon. As usual, the course was magnificent with lots of run on the ball and very fast greens. Also, as usual, the girls played magnificently.
Grateful thanks must go to the Club at Sutton Coldfield for allowing us to hold this competition annually and to the ladies of Sutton Coldfield who performed above and beyond in their level of hospitality. Special thanks to Sue Foster, Ladies Secretary who co-ordinated all the helpers accompanying the girls round the course. These ladies made sure that the girls correctly followed the Rules of Golf, made sure the recording of scores was correct and that the cards were signed and completed. Carol Regan the current Ladies Captain was there all day making sure that everything ran smoothly. A special thank you to Ruth Watson who took photographs of all the girls as they prepared to tee off and also took pictures of all the winners.
