Lady Captain’s Day 2023

Seventeen players gathered in the warm sunshine, in the clubhouse and on the terrace, for drinks and snacks before teeing off for Lady Captain’s Prize.

The Ladies, in order of play posed for the traditional photo with the Lady Captain on the First Tee.

Halfway House where Lady Captain had provided refreshments and cold drinks, much needed in nearly 30º of heat.

Meanwhile back in the Clubhouse, Lady Captain prepared for the players to return, and to eat drink and be merry.

After the meal Lady Captain, announced the much awaited results of the Lady Captain’s Competition.
Nearest the Pin on the 14th won by Chris Burton. The Visitors best score was the County President Joan Cresswell.

Third place with 74 net Pat Barton,
Second place with 73 net Paula Knott and with an incredible net 66 – the winner Larraine Morrison.
Larraine thanked Gill, for organising such a fantastic day and thanked her playing partners, Chris Pearce and Chris Burton for a lovely game of golf if somewhat ‘hot’!

Lady Captain’s Day from start to finish was a great day. Everyone had hoped for fine weather, and we had that in spades. Halfway house was a welcome sight on the tenth. In the evening, Poppies of Ulverston served a delightful meal, and everything fitted beautifully with The Lady Captain’s Asian theme. (Climate included). Special mention must be made of Steve and Jean , Gills great friends from Luton, what an amazing contribution they made to the smooth running of the day. Last but not least, Ken, he was there, helping all day, behind the bar, behind the camera, behind the scenes, in the kitchen, putting up the Halfway house, and dismantling it, barman, handyman, porter, waiter, sommelier and chauffeur,
All done with incredibly good humour.
When Gill is involved with any event, you can guarantee there will be lots of fun and games, and Saturday was no exception. Many hours of planning must have gone into organising the whole day, and it was reflected in the wonderful atmosphere at the club. Renowned for her enthusiasm for enjoyment, Gill provided it. An exceptional day – Thank You Gill.
