Match v Lincolnshire Senior II held at Swaffham Golf Club on Monday 29th June 2026

September 26, 2026
This is a relatively new fixture for our Norfolk Veteran Ladies second team against Lincolnshire. Last year the match had to be cancelled due to excessive heat on the day, so it was lovely to finally play the match in great weather conditions. As the team were disappointed with not being able to play last year, the majority of our players were picked from that squad, along with a few new additions. Unfortunately one of the Lincolnshire ladies made an error in the date, which meant one of their players had to play on their own. The match was played in great spirits and despite the dry conditions, the course was presented well, but Lincolnshire were too strong on the day and Norfolk lost the match 5/1.  Unfortunately, no team photo was taken. Anne Sibley Match Captain

Greensomes held at Bawburgh Friday 17 July 2026

July 22, 2026
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

Spring Four Ball Betterball Stableford - Wednesday 24th April 2024

The Spring Four Ball Betterball Stableford was held at Sprowston Manor Golf Club on 24th April 2024.


Competitions Secretary Jill reported that 108 ladies from 19 clubs took part.  We were only allocated one tee and so there were around three and a half hours from the first to the last teeing off.  Unfortunately, the weather was very variable with some ladies experiencing everything from hail to rain showers to a little sunshine.  Obviously with this large field, play did slow at times, the weather being the biggest factor with ladies having to put on and take off rain gear.  A few comments were made about this but had it been a little warmer and drier this would not have been a factor.  The winners were in the first group out and to give them their due they stayed to the end to be presented with their trophies.  Due to the length of time from first to last, a lot of ladies left and so there were few at the presentation at the end.  Maybe if this scenario is repeated we forgo the presentation and make other arrangements.  Clubs will and do prefer a one tee start.


Sprowston Manor's hospitality could not have been better.  They really went above and beyond and nothing was too much trouble.  In particular, the Sprowston member who acted as starter was willing to check on nearest the pins and confirm with all the players the change we had to make.  The nearest the pin on the 6th was late getting in position and this was not noticed until several groups had gone past so another hole was chosen so that all could attempt it.  Sprowston Manor gave a Four Ball for the raffle as well as leisure day passes and cuddly toys to augment our raffle which was appreciated and a lot of raffle tickets were sold.   The Ladies' Captain, Hazel, gave her time to sell raffle tickets and that was so helpful.  It had been arranged that baked potatoes with various fillings would be the meal afterwards.  This perhaps could have had a salad to go with it.  We did also have coffee or tea on arrival.


All in all this was a very successful event and I am told was the biggest field we have had, may be because it was central and was a reasonable cost.
