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

4BBB held at Heacham Manor on Tuesday 28 April 2026

April 30, 2026
We welcomed 100 ladies from 15 different Norfolk Golf Clubs and for the first time in my experience we were offered a three tee start! Heacham Manor staff and members were extremely helpful from the early organisation to the day itself. They provided four starters, one for each tee and a shepherd to make sure everyone found their starting tee. Also two ladies from the club took over the raffle for me, Many thanks to all of you. Very generously the club also added a 4ball voucher to the raffle. The day started a little bit showery and the sun did emerge as the day progressed. The wind however was a real factor, so strong and really cold. The ladies taking part were very stoic and layered up, making the best of the conditions. On finishing we partook of a really nice meal which was much appreciated. Congratulations to the pair coming out on top and worthy winners with 43 points were Tracy Russell and Maggie Ward from Ryston Park. Very well done to all, the scores were good despite the conditions. Comisserations must go to the five pairs who scored 40 points so close but tooo far!! Maybe next time. Jill Bullimore - Competition Secretary

Waltz held at Dereham Golf Club on Friday 16 May 2025

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.

The Results:

Position Prizewinners Club Points
1 Christine Joy, Irene Lindsay, Gerry Shaw & Gail Drage Wensum Valley 83
2 Kari Joyce, Sue Ryan, Kerry Williams & Lynne Jellicoe, Eaton 81 ocb
3 Ros Foster, Gerri Williams, Val Miller & Stephanie Fisher Bawburgh 81
