Spring Four Ball Betterball Stableford - 27th April 2022
NVLGS • May 10, 2022
The Spring Four Ball Betterball Stableford was held at Bawburgh Golf Club on 27th April 2022.
Bawburgh was a good venue for our 4BBB competition which attracted 80 players from 16 clubs. The course was in good condition and, although the day was chilly, it kept fine and everyone seemed to enjoy their games. The staff at the club looked after us very well and everyone enjoyed the ham, egg and chips which they served after play. Congratulations to the winners - all receiving an M & S voucher along with a mini bottle of wine to celebrate their success.
My thanks to Sheila Glenn, the NVLGS Bawburgh Representative, who ran the raffle and kindly found two ladies to act as starters then played golf at short notice when we had a late withdrawal.
Our next event is the Championship which is being held at King's Lynn on Thursday 30th June. The format is slightly altered this year as was advertised at our AGM. Division 1 - handicaps 0 to 22.0 - will play a Medal and Division 2 - handicaps 22.1 to 36.0 - will play a Stableford.

Competitions Secretary Jill Bullimore reported that Friday May 16th saw the first competition for High Handicap Ladies from the Society. It was great to see 9 teams from ten clubs taking part in a team of four Waltz. This format was really liked by the ladies that took part as there was less pressure on having to score. Dereham was a great venue and were good hosts. Although the weather had turned colder, the teams took on the challenge. The winners were Christine Joy, Irene Lindsay, Gerry Shaw and Gail Drage from Wensum Valley with 83 points. In second place, on count back, were Kari Joyce, Sue Ryan, Kerry Williams and Lynne Jellicoe from Eaton with 81 points, just nudging out the team of Ros Foster, Gerri Williams, Val Miller and Stephanie Fisher from Bawburgh. Feedback from the ladies was that they would like to take part in this type of competition again next year.
Proceeds of the raffles held at the competitions in 2024 totalled £1,407.70. A cheque for this amount has been sent to the Norfolk & Norwich Hospitals Charity for the Jenny Lind Appeal. Our thanks go to Jill Bullimore, Angie Allsopp and Sue for running the raffles and to all those who bought tickets.
The Spring Four Ball Betterball Stableford was held at Gorleston Golf Club on 14th April 2025. Competitions Secretary Jill Bullimore reported that 92 members from 14 clubs took part. The weather was fine and dry. However, the wind did get stronger as the day progressed making this a factor to wrestle with. Gorleston Golf Club were superb hosts; everyone made every effort to make our day enjoyable. There were particularly satisfied faces after a lovely fish and chip meal. Congratulations to the winners, Sue Olds and Sue Fage from Wensum Valley, with a creditable 46 points.

Presentation of Trophies at the 2024 AGM
Angie Allsopp reported that 88 ladies from 14 clubs played in this event. It was a very good day, the weather was extremely kind and we were looked after very well by all the staff at Bawburgh. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day and quite a few stayed for the presentation. Unfortunately, we did not have a starter so everyone saw themselves off, which was not a problem.
