Suffolk Seniors v Norfolk Vets on Tuesday 24^th September 2024 @ Thetford Golf Club

Suffolk Senior ladies were on fine form for this annual 4bbb match played off scratch.

As the afternoon unfolded the sun shone and golfers enjoyed playing on a well presented heathland course, carved out of the Breckland forest. Fast paced greens added to the challenge.

In the first match the Suffolk pair came up against a much experienced very low handicap pairing and despite some excellent golf, were well beaten.

The third and fourth matches on the course resulted in convincing wins for Suffolk.

This left the second match out on the course playing the 18^th all square.  With all her team mates watching, Amanda Mok putted in off the green to secure a 1 up win for Suffolk.

Both teams enjoyed a delicious post match meal and reflected on a thoroughly enjoyable day.

Thanks to Norfolk captain Sue Saunders for organising and Thetford GC for hosting.

This was our first East Region Senior Women’s League match and what a fantastic day!  The weather was perfect, warm but not too hot and a slight breeze, the course was at its best and the company excellent!  The matches were played in a competitive but very friendly spirit, as it should be, and the day was enjoyed by all.  Some matches were nip and tuck and many a time it went down to who holed the putt; many of us found the greens tricky to read even though they were rolling beautifully.  Well played the team; a good win against some stern competition.

Many thanks to Woodbridge GC for hosting us; fantastic course, excellent food and a great welcome.

Many thanks too to our sponsor, Sandlings Properties.
