Captain's Newsletter - 18 December 2022

Well here it is - Merry Christmas and my last newsletter. I am sure you will have better things to do next weekend than read my drivel. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to be 2023 Ladies Captain of Chesfield Downs Golf Club

The snow put paid to any golf this week, meaning our Christmas Greensomes didn't happen.

Undaunted we gathered in festive spirits and Christmas jumpers for a quiz in the bar . We even attracted some interlopers at other tables who actually got the best score of the day! We finished off the morning with Mulled wine and mince pies

Winners from Chesfield Ladies were Debbie and Jacqui Hard on countback from Helen and Paula who took the Christmas theme to another level!

Ladies enjoyed the Christmas Party- food was good, dancing was energetic and company was excellent

While on the subject of photos please take a moment to look at the Photoboard which has been updated. Apologies to any missing events but I was having technical issues in Boots printing them off. Was frightening off other customers with my mutterings so had to leave!

There are still a few packs of Christmas Cards left - minimum donation of £3 for a pack of 5.Also knitted headbands ( only 3 left) £3 donation too. Hazel now has these.

How many more times can rain interfere with play??? I think this week is looking good so far so please keep everything crossed for a fine day on Thursday for our Winter Invitation. We have 52 visitors joining us for the golf and the lunch, our great hospitality is now known far and wide. It's shaping up to be a good day.

Bottles and chocolates still being accepted. Thank you for all the donations so far. Please let your guests know that there will be a tombola, £2 per ticket, and also a table of second hand golf clothing and equipment. Bring some cash although card payment will also be accepted

I said in the newsletter last week I would think long and hard before spending any of the money you donated to me. Well the wind and rain made a decision for me - it thoroughly ruined my umbrella so that will be the first purchase!!!!

For those of you who haven't heard, there are going to be some refurbishments in the club in 2023, and the great news is that the ladies toilets will be part of these works. Also new electric buggies will be bought. Things are looking up.

Thank you to those ladies who attended the Club AGM and supported the section. Always good to see ladies there.

Thursday 15th December - Christmas Party. Christina is giving us a good discount on this - £30. 24 ladies have signed up already so it should be a good night.

There are 8 places left. Will return any unused places to the club by 30 November. Get in quick.

Thursday 1st December - last committee meeting of my Captaincy. If you have an item for the agenda please notify Olive in writing.

Recycling - there are already recycling boxes in the locker room courtesy of Jackie R (corks and used batteries) Amanda's church collects used blister packs. She is going to put a box in the locker room for these too. Rosie is collecting used pens, felt tips, markers, crayons, highlighters, plus correction tape and bottles. Please help to save our environment and support this recycling rather than putting items in landfill. The boxes will be at the back of the locker room near the hand basin.

Report from Margaret G re Pearson Match v Old Fold Manor

We may have lost again today but we were happy with how we played. Everyone giving away several shots made the challenge difficult! At least it stayed dry for us and the ladies of Old Fold were lovely. Mxxx

Sunday 13th November Mixed Weekend Winter League, Round 2. Julie Pr smashed the field with her 43 Points. Fantastic Result Julie.

Thank you to everyone who attended the AGM. Sorry about the unconstitutional occurrence. We are working very hard to rectify this

A huge thank you to you ladies for my presents. I love the photo book, the flowers, the card and the chocolates - have made a dent in them already! Also thank you for your very generous cheque, I will think long and hard before spending any of it.

It has been a great privilege to represent Chesfield Downs Ladies Section for 2022 There have been many mistakes or should I call them evolutionary opportunities?

But I hope I leave the section in a good place for Hazel to enjoy 2023.

Pearson Team fought valiantly at The Melbourne but the home team won the day. They had to contend with horrendous rain and thunder and lightning. matches were suspended but resumed dripping wet and soaked through when the sun came out. Well done ladies - very proud of you all.

Message from Karen re submitting General Play cards on to ig

The Ladies need to update their IG version to 2.4.1 and when submitting a General Play card both the Player and the Marker need to be on the same version of the software. Lin and Megan have tried it and it worked ok

IG have removed the need for scorecard photographs for general play rounds. The scorecard attestation process for general play cards has been significantly improved with the use of signatures for both the player and the marker.

Members can now sign their card in the app, search for another member, then send their playing partner a request to mark their card. The marker will receive a push notification and a banner in their app which tells them a score is waiting to be verified. The marker can then approve or reject this score which will notify the player that the card can now be finalised. If the card is rejected a reason must be provided which will also be sent to the player.

Although this process is very straightforward, England Golf have produced a short video which can be shared

There is a video on You Tube - igmember App Score Attestation Demo

Reports from Sarah

Sarah recently took part in the Club Company Champion of Champions held at the Warwickshire. This is by way of the Club Company congratulating all their Club Champions (Men, Ladies, Seniors and Juniors) If you haven’t played there then it is well worth a visit. Three courses, hotel etc etc. The course was in excellent condition with some very difficult flag positions - a shame that my golf was not in the same excellent condition that day! It was fun and good to meet some other Club Champs from around the company.

Kathy D and Sarah F represented Chesfield in the Hertfordshire Senior Ladies Championship held this year at South Herts. Not sure either of us played our best golf that day but it was challenging to put ourselves out there! Also lunch was good!!

Big thank you to Sarah and Kathy D for flying the flag for Chesfield Ladies.

Aren't the trees turning a gorgeous colour on the course? Autumn is truly on its way but we are still enjoying some warm weather.

I think we are all still reeling from the loss of our dear friend Marion. It has been so sudden and difficult to take in. We can't imagine what her family are going through. Her funeral will take place on Wednesday 19 October 11 am at North Herts Crematorium, Bedford Road, Holwell. Then afterwards at The Plume and Feathers in Ickleford. Please let me know ASAP if you will be going to The Plume and Feathers as Brian ( Marion's husband ) needs to know numbers for catering. At the moment I have 14 attending crematorium only and 12 attending both. It has been suggested that if possible we wear purple club jumpers with a pink polo shirt

It was good for us to remember her in a celebratory way last week when we wore pink and toasted her in lager and Prosecco

I am afraid more sad news - Brenda Harrington whom some of you may remember fondly has been diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer and is now in a hospice. Megan is going up there tonight (Sunday) and I have given her a card from all the section. If flowers are allowed Megan will give her flowers from us too.

Wednesday 21 October between 10.30- 1.30 Wendy will be holding a MacMillan Coffee morning. Her address is 4 Rectory Lane, Stevenage, SG1 4BY Tel. 0780 3888 162 Please car share when possible

Thursday 10 November after golf Ladies Section AGM. We are trialling this time as last year there was not a good turn out. Please let Olive know if you are attending and also if you need to send apologies.

Captain's Newsletter - 25 September 2022

This week we are all trying to get our heads around the sudden and quick death of our lovely smiley friend Marion.

On Tuesday 27th September it has been suggested that we flood the course with pink in Marion's memory. If you aren't going to be at Chesfield then honour Marion's memory wherever you may be. We will raise a toast to her in the clubhouse afterwards and those of us who can will toast her in her favourite tipple - lager.

The flags remain at half mast in her memory.

The funeral will be a while yet as there is to be a post mortem and an autopsy

RIP Marion
