A big thank you to Bungay for hosting Division 1 this year.  Sam for setting up the computer, Kevin and his catering team, Lils and Kate for their help in the office, Julie the Lady Captain and the President of Bungay Golf Club, Brian Richardson for being Starter.

A huge thank you Di Hegarty, SLCGA Secretary who was also working as hard as ever.

Last but not least I would like to thank Frances (Danielsen) for helping me in all the Division Meetings over the last 3 years and particularly today for doing all the admin (helped by Di) so efficiently which enabled me to play.

Well done to everyone for supporting the SLCGA.  Next year Division 1 is at Thorpeness on Saturday 28th September 2024 so hopefully we will see most of you again.

Kristina Matthews of Brett Vale had an outstanding round to win the Sybil Green Cup for the best scratch score at Bungay & Waveney Valley Golf Club.  She had only 1 birdie (on the tricky 9^th hole) but her consistent ‘tee to green’ play allowed her to play 6 shots below her handicap.  Abbie Symonds of Ipswich GC, a past winner of this event on several occasions had to settle for 2^nd place, closely followed by Mariette Robbertse of BsE.

The Division 1 net prize went to Amanda Little of Ufford Park.  With 3 birdies on her scorecard her handicap should continue to drop.  Last year Amanda was 4 shots higher and playing in Division 2.

The huge and magnificent Challenge Shield for the lowest 3 gross scores from the same club went to Bury St Edmunds for the second consecutive year.

Congratulations to Mariette Robbertse, Bianca Theeruth and Elizabeth Bezance with a gross total of 249.

DIVISION 3 MEETING 2023

There were 25 ladies (with handicaps ranging from 25 to 31.9 index) who contested the Division 3 Meeting at Fynn Valley on 4th May 2023.  The course was looking lush and green and the weather sunny and Spring like!

Everyone at Fynn Valley was friendly and welcoming and they provided an “army” of helpers.

Bob Crosbie, the President, did a brilliant job as Starter.

Thank you to Sue Poole, the Lady Captain, for organising so many helpers – Chris, Sally, Jane, Lesley, Elaine, Barbara and Gwen to ball spot, wave flags, meet and greet and generally be of assistance.

Jenny Holmes in admin was a big help in running the competition on the computer and went above and beyond even polishing the Cup!

The catering and bar staff also need to be commended for their cheerful and efficient work.

Congratulations to Ginnie Hart of Bramford (and also FV) on winning the beautiful Silver Quiche Cup with 37 points.

2nd (ocb) was Anne Fenning of Stowmarket with 31 points.

3rd was Julie Cook of Seckford 31 points.

Commiserations to Jean Emerson who also had 31 points but missed out on the prizes.

The Belstead Shield was extremely tightly contested with two Clubs scoring 81 points.

Stowmarket prevailed over Fynn Valley with a better back nine total!

Congratulations to Edwina Hughes, Anne Fenning and Hilary Plummer.
