New Ladies to the Section

I would like to welcome two new ladies to the section. Sangeeta who is in the process of gaining her handicap and Alayne who has joined us from Redbourn Golf Club. We look forward to meeting and playing with you both.

Last but not least

I would like to say a massive thank you to the ladies section for my beautiful flowers and gift presented to me at the ladies AGM on Thursday. So very kind of you all, I am lost for words. But, I can feel a few new golf clubs coming my way which hopefully will improve my game next season! Thank you all so much xx

Have a good week ladies!
