Suffolk Ladies vs Suffolk Vets at Rushmere
Suffolk Ladies Seniors v Suffolk Vets at Rushmere
Friday 1 October 2021
Well we arrived at Rushmere in torrential rain and sat drinking coffee whilst it poured down, watching the 9th green develop more and more puddles. Weather Apps were consulted and the radar showed there was a chance that the rain would stop before not too long so we agreed we would wait and see. It was the right decision as the certainly did stop and we were able to set out not too long after our original start time.
As always the match with the Vets is keenly contested in a very friendly atmosphere. The course had held up from the rain and many thanks to the green staff who squeegeed the greens for us and they proved to be fast and true. Unfortunately we came a gallant second but the matches were close, coming down to a long putt holed here and there to win a hole. Well done to the team, some of whom had to give quite a few shots to an ‘in form’ Vets team. This is always a fun fixture and today did not disappoint.
Thank you to Rushmere for hosting us admirably – a great day!

Suffolk Ladies Seniors v Norfolk Vets
Thursday 30 September at Diss
We had a worrying run-up to this match which had already been postponed from May (I wonder why!!!). For a time it was touch and go as to whether the match would go ahead as some people were having difficulty sourcing petrol due to the shortage. Well done to all those who queued up for supplies on both teams so that the match could go ahead!
It was a blustery, showery day making conditions tricky; the wind often blowing across the fairway which didn’t help when trying to hit tricky greens. There were some close matches, 2 going to the 18th, and excellent golf on both sides. Long putts and chips were holed, unfortunately for us from the Norfolk team!
Thanks must go to Diss for being excellent hosts, the course played well and the greens were running smoothly. Our food afterwards was plentiful and tasty.

Suffolk Senior Ladies v Bedfordshire Senior Ladies
At last we have played our first match of 2021 and since 2019, our match with the Suffolk Junior Girls being cancelled due to COVID and our match with Cambs & Hunts postponed until mid October.
Excellent weather was organised for our match against the Bedfordshire Seniors and we played in glorious sunshine! The course at Flempton was in excellent condition and we were all given a warm welcome by the club. All the matches were close; we played 4BBB off handicap and 3 matches went to the 18th and the other was only won on the 17th! A friendly, competitive atmosphere prevailed and all had great games. The match was followed by an excellent meal and all agreed that Flempton was definitely a club to be revisited.
