Although the weather has been mixed the Ladies Section are having a busy season with Woods matches, Friendly matches and various in house competitions.
In addition we have had several special events.
Leigh Clark Memorial Day Trophy
This was held on 29th May in fond memory of Leigh Clark our much loved colleague and friend, and the winners were Sandie A, Barbara S, and Diane P (Leigh’s sister). It was a most enjoyable day which was also attended by Leigh’s other sister Julia.
Hilary Clark perseverance Trophy
To mark her 90th birthday last year Hilary donated a trophy, the Hilary Clark perseverance trophy. This is a fun competition played on as ´three clubs and a putter’ and was won this year by Lynne Standen.
The Summer Knockout competition is in full swing with the final to be played by Saturday 31st August.
Woods Matches
All matches are now complete. Our team won their matches against Weymouth, were awarded a win against Yeovil due to their cancellation, drew against knighton Heath and lost to Ashley Wood, Bridport and Came Down. This has been a successful season with many of the matches, even in defeat, being very closely fought.
Friendly Matches
It has been a good season for Ferndown Forest Ladies who are at present unbeaten with a win against Sommerley, and drawn matches against Wellow and Sturminster Marshall. There are further matches scheduled up to the end of September against Christchurch, Walhampton and Highcliffe. The matches have been very enjoyable and many thanks to our catering staff for looking after us so well.
Wellow Spring Rally
Ferndown Forest Ladies were invited to take part in the Wellow Spring Rally, held at Wellow Golf Club, a very popular event open to clubs in Dorset and Hampshire. We sent a team of seven to play and all had a most enjoyable time.
