Ladies Open Competitons 2011

Ladies Saturday Open Results 24.09.11

A full field thoroughly enjoyed our inaugural Ladies Saturday Open. A dry day with little wind should have made scoring easy in this stableford better ball competition. However, super slick greens and challenging pin positions tested all competitors. They were certainly the main topic of conversation over lunch!! 

Jenny Cooper and Moira Page from Glen Gorse obviously had little trouble as they posted the best gross score of the day. A magnificant score of 70 and worthy of the Best Gross prize.

Nearest the pin was won by Karen Johnson of Shirley and the longest drive by Belinda Rouse of Redditch

3rd place: -   39pts  Jane Eadon & Elaine Ebbage, Hinckley on the back 9

2nd place: -  40pts   Bev Belcher & Lara Bates, Olton

1st place: -    41pts  Karen Sharman & Susan Clowes, Wishaw

Congratulations to all prize winners.

Thanks to those who contributed to our raffle - we raised over £500 for the Solihull Marie Curie Hospice.

The day itself was masterminded by Debbie Butlin and Debbie Forbes and thanks to all volunteers who hepled out on the day. There may be one or two minor changes next year but we look forward to welcoming all our visitors again in 2012.

3 Ball Alliance Results 12.05.2011

A dry  windy day saw teams from all over the County contest this annual 3 ball alliance. The course was in good condition but the pin positions together with 3/4 handicap made scoring difficult. It was perhaps not surprising that a predominantly Olton team came away with the top prize. Jan Innes, Ray Davies and Jean Baxter from Robin Hood posted the 147 winning score. Teams from Shirley came 2nd , Walsall 3rd and The Warwickshire 4th. The only '2' of the day was by Lesley Fisher from Shirley GC. Del Lakin-Hall and her team took the front 9 prize and a mixed team from The Warwickshire, Nuneaton and Stoneleigh Deer Park  won the back 9 on countback. Click here for full results.

Thanks to Liz Jarvie and Dorothy Lucas for their organisation together with the numerous helpers throughout the day.
