Match v Lincolnshire Seniors held at Sleaford on Monday 5 August 2024

Helen Ayres • August 11, 2024

Match Captain Sue Saunders reported that it was her first scratch match of the season and it had been a struggle to get the 12 players required for the away match in Lincolnshire.


Six games of four ball better ball were played in good spirits in fine golfing weather on a pleasant golf course that wasn't too long.  The scoring in general was very good and every match was toughly fought.  It was the first outing for the Vets for Bev Fowler of Mundesley, Jane Herrington of Thetford and Kay Bailey from Eaton and they all proved to be a valuable asset to the team.


A big thank you to the Sleaford Club for their hospitality and well done to the Norfolk team.  As so many competitions are now for the handicap golfer, it was lovely to play without shots and the result was a friendly 3-3 draw.
