Match v Suffolk Seniors held at Rookery Park on Monday 22nd June 2026

June 24, 2026
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

Match v Cambs & Hunts held at Swaffham on Monday 1 June 2026

June 2, 2026
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

Waltz held at Mattishall Tuesday 19 May 2026

May 27, 2026
Tuesday 19th May saw the Norfolk Ladies Vets welcomed by Mattishall Golf Club for the High Handicap Waltz event. It was disappointing that there were only six teams entered but those that did had a good time. The weather held, no rain and the sun did make an appearance. Mattishall staff were very accommodating and helped in every way. Particular thanks to Jane Ladies Captain and her Vice you were fantastic. Teams did comment that the course played tough especially with the Par 6 hole! Runners up with 69 points were Gerri Williams, Sheila Glenn, Val Miller and Penny Mead from Bawburgh and just pipping them with 70 points were Hazel O’Neill, Denise Wilson, Sandy Byrne and Liz Allport from Sprowston. Everyone enjoyed and was very ready for the Jacket Potato with various fillings with salad. Well done Ladies. Jill Bullimore - Competition Secretary

Match vs Lincolnshire Seniors held at Thetford Golf Club on Thursday 24th July 2025

Match Captain Sue Saunders reported that the second match of the season was played at home against Lincolnshire at Thetford in extremely wet conditions. 

 

The fairways were in a very poor condition after the recent prolonged hot spell, and it was agreed that players could prefer lies. Both teams struggled with the rain and the fairways but there were some excellent performances and some very close matches.


This match always has a larger squad of 12 players which gives more people a chance of being selected and a warm welcome was given to two new team players – Phon Green from Bawburgh and Anne Ellis from Hunstanton.  


Big thanks to Thetford Golf Club who provided excellent hospitality and a very tasty evening meal. More importantly huge thanks go from the Captain to the team members who are always such good sports and great fun.  


Fantastic result Norfolk won 4 matches to 2

NVLGS LINCOLNSHIRE RESULT SCORE
Sue Meadows & Kay Bailey v Sophie Beardsall & Jayne Crooks Lost 1 down
