This is a relatively new fixture for our Norfolk Veteran Ladies second team against Lincolnshire. Last year the match had to be cancelled due to excessive heat on the day, so it was lovely to finally play the match in great weather conditions. As the team were disappointed with not being able to play last year, the majority of our players were picked from that squad, along with a few new additions. Unfortunately one of the Lincolnshire ladies made an error in the date, which meant one of their players had to play on their own. The match was played in great spirits and despite the dry conditions, the course was presented well, but Lincolnshire were too strong on the day and Norfolk lost the match 5/1.  Unfortunately, no team photo was taken. Anne Sibley Match Captain

Friday 17th July saw Norfolk Ladies Vets welcomed at Bawburgh Golf Club for the Greensomes Competition. A great field of 88 ladies took part from a two tee start and the weather for once was kind. Players came from 18 different clubs which is fantastic. The players certainly took advantage of the amount of run and lots of really good scores were recorded, in total 15 teams scored 40 points or more, what a great result. Many thanks go to Bawburgh Rep Ros Foster who arranged starters for me, Chris Ingram the pro who very kindly produced the cards and lastly Lynda love our President who did the raffle for me. I am very grateful as with enough help events go smoothly. Results are as follows: 1st Deborah Bleasby and Elaine Carter from Royal Cromer with 47 points (ocb) 2nd Janet Goode and Anne Ellis from Hunstanton with 47 points 3rd Mary Tuddenham and Fran Johnson from Bawburgh with 46 points 4th Chris Rayfield from Mundesley and Susan Tuck from Bawburgh with 45 points 5th Maureen McRae and Gill Hodgson from Royal Cromer with 43 points Nearest the Pin under 22 WHI - 16th- Chris Rayfield Mundesley Nearest the Pin over 22.1 WHI - Deborah Bleasby Royal Cromer Commiserations but also congratulations to the pair who scored 42, the two pairs scoring 41 and the seven pairs scoring 40 so near yet so far. A lovely day was had by all whatever the scores. Hope to see you all in competitions later in the year. Jill Bullimore - Competition Secretary

Match v Lincolnshire held at King's Lynn on Thursday 3 August 2023

Match Captain Chrissie Owens reported that the second match of the season was played at home against Lincolnshire at King's Lynn.  After a wet start to the day, the match was played in dry conditions ending in a glorious afternoon.


A warm welcome was given to two new team players - Kath Malvern from Thetford and Sally Bettinson from King's Lynn.  With three home players the team was in a good position.  The traditionally larger squad of 10 was played for this Lincolnshire match.


The match was played in good spirits and was followed by a two-course meal served outside on the veranda.  The teams enjoyed chicken, bacon and avocado salad followed by strawberries and cream.


A big thanks to King's Lynn Golf Club who never fails to impress, the course was a delight to play and excellent hospitality and catering.


And a fantastic result of 41/2 / 1/2 to Norfolk.


NVLGS colours were presented to Dawn Futter.
