Division 1 Meeting

The Division 1 Meeting was held at Thorpeness Golf Club on Saturday 28th September. It was very well supported, with 41 ladies playing on the day, finishing with a roast dinner afterwards.  The course was in great condition, with the greens rolling beautifully and the food was excellent.

It is the first time the Division 1 meeting has been played at a weekend, with over 60 ladies initially entering the competition, but with only 12 tee times available, some ladies withdrew and the closed by date was rigidly enforced. Next year the Division 1 meeting will be held on Saturday 13th September at Ipswich Golf Club.

The weather was warm and sunny and the Thorpeness staff were extremely helpful. Special thanks to Dan Skriabin the Club Professional and Golf Director, and all the staff on the course and in the hotel who helped make the day run smoothly.

Many thanks theCounty President  Vicki Hunt who presented the prizes
