Forty players took part from seven different clubs in the competition at Caldecott Hall Golf Club. After all the lovely dry, hot weather we have had, we awoke to a cold, wet and windy day. Mention must be made of the four players from Denver who made a trip of it, staying at Caldecott the night before! The day dawned and everyone was very stoic and without complaining just got on with it. On finishing everyone agreed that they had had a good time with great company. Congratulations go to the winners who took on and tamed the challenge. 1st Sue Ryan and Kay Reynolds from Eaton Golf Club with 37 points, the only pair to break par, well done ladies. 2nd Anne Osborn and Penny Lamb from Bawburgh Golf Club with 32 points. 3rd Debbie Leggett and Julie Ellis from Richmond Par k with 30 points (ocb). Nearest the pin on the 8th for Handicaps 25.9 and under was won by Penny Lamb from Bawburgh Golf Club and nearest the pin on the 13th for Handicaps 26 and over, was won by Pam Skoyles from Caldecott Hall. Many thanks to Caldecott Hall who were very supportive, the pro shop who met all our needs and provided the very capable Mick as starter and the Barn who provided us with a very welcome meal. Well done everyone. Jill Bullimore Competition Secretary

Competitions Secretary Jill Bullimore reported that Friday May 16th saw the first competition for High Handicap Ladies from the Society. It was great to see 9 teams from ten clubs taking part in a team of four Waltz. This format was really liked by the ladies that took part as there was less pressure on having to score. Dereham was a great venue and were good hosts. Although the weather had turned colder, the teams took on the challenge. The winners were Christine Joy, Irene Lindsay, Gerry Shaw and Gail Drage from Wensum Valley with 83 points. In second place, on count back, were Kari Joyce, Sue Ryan, Kerry Williams and Lynne Jellicoe from Eaton with 81 points, just nudging out the team of Ros Foster, Gerri Williams, Val Miller and Stephanie Fisher from Bawburgh. Feedback from the ladies was that they would like to take part in this type of competition again next year.

The Spring Four Ball Betterball Stableford was held at Gorleston Golf Club on 14th April 2025. Competitions Secretary Jill Bullimore reported that 92 members from 14 clubs took part. The weather was fine and dry. However, the wind did get stronger as the day progressed making this a factor to wrestle with. Gorleston Golf Club were superb hosts; everyone made every effort to make our day enjoyable. There were particularly satisfied faces after a lovely fish and chip meal. Congratulations to the winners, Sue Olds and Sue Fage from Wensum Valley, with a creditable 46 points.
