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

Our second match of the season was played at Rookery Park Golf Club against Suffolk Seniors. Despite the amber warning for heat, there was a welcome cool breeze at Rookery Park. The course was presented in good condition with lots of grass on the fairways but the bounces were interesting and the greens tricky. The matches were close but Suffolk were too strong for us on the day and we lost the match 4/0. We thanked Suffolk for their hospitality and the light salad after the match. Badges were presented to Sarah Watts and Kym Lofthouse. Anne Sibley Match Captain

This was our first match of 2026 and my first as match captain. After the recent spell of hot weather, the fairways had inevitably suffered from lack of rain so we were grateful to be on preferred lies. Matches are played off scratch and we played three matches of 4bbb and one match where Cambs & Hunt’s match captain played a betterball against one of our pairs, as unfortunately they could only field 7 players on the day. The catering staff were congratulated for a superb summer buffet and thanks sent to the Administration staff for ensuring that everything ran smoothly. We won the match 2.5 to 1.5 - a great start to our 2026 season and huge thanks go to all the players who all appeared to thoroughly enjoy the day. Anne Sibley Match Captain

Match vs Cambs & Hunts held at Ely Golf Club on 13th September 2023

Match Captain Chrissie Owens reported that the final match of the season was played at Ely Golf Club later than planned, having been postponed earlier in the year due to bad weather.


With the match taking place in September, it was difficult to field a team due to holidays and other golfing so only six players (3 pairs) made the trip to Ely.  Anne Ellis from Sheringham kindly stepped in at the last minute for the team and to play her first Vets match.


Undoubtedly Ely City's mature parkland course was a real pleasure to play but both accuracy and solid ball striking were the key to scoring well!


This was always going to be a tough match against Cambs & Hunts as some of their players are also county senior players.  However, all games were played in good spirit and the ladies very hospitable offering a delicious meal of pan-fried chicken with dauphinoise potatoes, carrot puree and crispy stuffing.


As this was the last match, Chrissie would like to thank everyone who has played over the past couple of years and hands over the role to Sue Saunders of Thetford Golf Club.

The Results:
NVLGS Cambs & Hunts Result Score
Kath Malvern & Helen Beck vs Sharren Kyenstad & Moira Munroe Lost 1 down
Debbie Pollard-Barns & Anne Ellis vs Roz Bartlett & Jacqui Richardson Lost 5 & 3
Chrissie Owens & Tracey Russell vs Helen Gillet & Deborah Harding Won 5 & 4
