4BBB held at Heacham Manor on Tuesday 28 April 2026

April 30, 2026
We welcomed 100 ladies from 15 different Norfolk Golf Clubs and for the first time in my experience we were offered a three tee start! Heacham Manor staff and members were extremely helpful from the early organisation to the day itself. They provided four starters, one for each tee and a shepherd to make sure everyone found their starting tee. Also two ladies from the club took over the raffle for me, Many thanks to all of you. Very generously the club also added a 4ball voucher to the raffle. The day started a little bit showery and the sun did emerge as the day progressed. The wind however was a real factor, so strong and really cold. The ladies taking part were very stoic and layered up, making the best of the conditions. On finishing we partook of a really nice meal which was much appreciated. Congratulations to the pair coming out on top and worthy winners with 43 points were Tracy Russell and Maggie Ward from Ryston Park. Very well done to all, the scores were good despite the conditions. Comisserations must go to the five pairs who scored 40 points so close but tooo far!! Maybe next time.

Championships held at Dunston Hall on Wednesday 1 October 2025

By Lynn Wykes • January 21, 2026
A larger field entered the Championships this year, a factor for this was moving the competition to the end of the season from mid-summer, this meant we had a lot more entries particularly in Division 1. Last year there were only seven entries in this category but this year twenty-two entered, so this made for a much better competition. A slightly lower entry from Division 2 of fourteen from nineteen still made for a solid competition. The weather was good and the Dunston members were very welcoming and supported us by providing a starter, thank you Club Captain and Hilary who ran the raffle for me. Congratulations to the winners who were as follows, in Division 1 Scratch and defending her title, winning the Championship Cup with a fine score of 81 was Sue Clarke from Kings Lynn, runner up winning the Joy Boult Salver, was Anne Sibley from Wensum Valley with 87. Best Nett, winning the Pallister Cup for Division 1 was also Sue Clarke from Kings Lynn with a score of 73, so a double winner. The Over 65 Gwen Watts Salver was won by Anne Sibley with a score of 76ocb. In Division 2 winning the stableford competition and the Curtis Cup, was Pip Martin from Dunston Hall with a score of 35, runner up, winning the Committee Salver, was Avril Carey from Eaton with 33 points and third was Julie Procter from Kings Lynn. The Over 65 Bessie Turnbull Salver was won by Pip Martin making her a double winner also. Well done everyone who took part and enjoyed the day.

AmAm held at Kings Lynn Golf Club on Thursday 4th September 2025

By Lynn Wykes • November 24, 2025
104 ladies from 16 clubs played the lovely Kings Lynn course on a challenging day with rain showers and whirling wind conditions which made it a good test of golf. The day clashed with the Ladies County Foursomes but it was still oversubscribed and late entries were turned away as we could only accommodate 26 teams with a two tee start. The club made us very welcome and the membership provided help with the raIle and starters. Huge thanks go to the Kings Lynn Lady Captain, Elaine Calvert who was incredibly supportive and their Secretary Iain who dealt with all the cards and put them through their system to sort out handicaps and winners. There were loads of compliments about the course and everyone appeared to enjoy the day. Congratulations go to Sue Clarke, Rosie Russell, Jane Reavell and Soon Letchford who came in first and won the Judith MacKinnon Salver. The Society is very grateful to everyone who generously bought rafle tickets which raised £420 for the Norfolk & Norwich Jenny Lind Appeal. Sue Saunders The Results:

'B' Team Match v Lincolnshire 'B' held at Heacham Manor on Monday 1st July 2024

This was a brand-new fixture played off handicap with the thought that it would be great to allow more members to play in our matches against other counties.


Match Captain Sue Saunders reported that it was her first in charge, and she had selected from a number of clubs.  It was agreed that it would be played as a 4 ball better ball with 12 players in each team.  The teams met in bright sunshine and the match was played in dry conditions although it did end up being extremely chilly at the end of the day.


Obviously, most players were new to the team and several members were unsure of what to wear with much hilarity regarding team colours and several different shades of cerise/pink were on show.


Lincolnshire sent their team selection ahead of time so that partnerships could be chosen with similar handicaps and the match was played in good spirits.  The teams enjoyed a two-course meal of oven-roasted chicken breast, dauphinoise potato, broccoli with a mushroom cream sauce followed by lemon meringue pie.


A big thanks to Heacham Manor and their Secretary Karen for her help in organising the event.  The course was in excellent condition and the meal was extremely tasty.


The result was a very friendly 3-3 draw.
