Match v Suffolk held at Rookery Park on Monday 24 July 2023

Helen Ayres • August 6, 2023

Match Captain Chrissie Owens reported that this was the first match of the season,  the match against Bedfordshire having been cancelled by Bedfordshire and the match v Cambs & Hunts rearranged due to the weather.


This was always going to be a tough match as we were playing against Suffolk's seniors team.  Rookery Park was in fantastic condition;  a long course which played to its full yardage.  Sadly the result did not reflect the quality of the golf played by Norfolk.


The ladies of Suffolk were very hospitable and the club served a delicious two-course meal of Suffolk ham, bubble and squeak cake, mixed greens and a mustard sauce, followed by lemon meringue pie with summer berries.   


NVLGS colours were presented to Debbie Pollard-Barns and Jo Barnard.

The Result:
