Cottesmore Ladies Day coincides with county competition
Lady captain Christine Knight said: “I was delighted that so many of the Ladies’ section were able to join me on my Captain’s Day, some even taking time off work to be there!
“Unfortunately, the date coincided with the SCLGA Jerdein Salver competition being held at Eastbourne Downs, so Meg Mitchell and Angela Whittington, two of my regular ladies were there representing Cottesmore and obviously, couldn’t be in two places at once.

“My husband, as starter, and my mother-in-law, with refreshments at the ‘half-way house’, were a great help to me.
“Members of my committee decorated a golf buggy with paper flowers in the club colours of pink and blue and this ‘chariot’ was a special bonus to what was already a very special day.”
Results from the day are:
1st overall with an incredible 45 points, Jill Lewis
2nd Gail Fee with an excellent 41 points
3rd Julie Lintern on count back from Heather Skinner with 40 points

In the Club Championship, awful weather meant we had to abandon the second day’s play, so results were decided on Saturday’s results only.
Penny Gaunt retained her title with a gross 79 over previous several times champion Iona McKean with 83 and Brenda Williams won the Nett with 71 over Linda Atkins on countback from Jenny Frei with 74.
