Success at the English Seniors!
Well done to Carol Wild of Notts Ladies for retaining her Ann Howard title at the English Senior Championships held at Enville Golf Club on 17th May 2019. Carol was defending her title after her success at The Hallamshire last year. Carol qualified second after two rounds of strokeplay, along with Sue Penfold from Sherwood. After meeting Sue in the quarter-finals, Carol went on to beat Rosie Waller, in the semi’s and came out on top in a great final, on the 18th, against Sheree Dove-Wilde, 1up.
Carol Houghton, our County Captain, made it through to the knockouts after finishing 16th in the strokeplay in the Wendy Taylor Flight. Carol went on to win a tight first round match on the 19th, making it through to the last 16. Unfortunately, then losing in the next round to Amanda Mayne.
Congratulations to all our Nottinghamshire ladies taking part at Enville and good luck to those going down to St Endoc Golf Club to play their next English Seniors event organised by England Golf.

The men’s Taskers Final and Plate were also played and the Uttoxeter C Team beat Lutterworth B in the Final 4/3; the deciding match going to the 20th hole.

County President’s Day 2018 was played at Beeston Fields Golf Club on Monday 8 October to raise funds for the NCLGA County Teams. It was a lovely, warm and sunny Autumnal day and the full field of 100 players enjoyed playing the course which was in excellent condition. The format was a four-ball Stableford Am-Am with 2 scores to count, 90% handicap. There were prizes for the first four teams, nearest the pin on all four short holes, and a putting competition.
The Ladies Interclub Final was held at Stanton On The Wolds Golf Club on Monday 10th September between Rudd ington and Mapperley. The final started in overcast and fairly blustery conditions, however this didn’t deter the determination of both teams who fought well throughout the matches.The greens as usual were in excellent condition and proved to be quite tricky in the wind, thank you to Stanton Golf Club and their members for their hospitality and for giving us courtesy of the course. Thank you also to Lindsay Carruthers and Val Peet who refereed the matches. Both teams were very well supported by members from their clubs.
