Club Championship Weekend

So finally we get to play the Club Championship in the September sunshine. A great day to support the club and take part in a 2 day competition which recognises both gross and net winners for Ladies and Gents. This competition was due to take place in July this year but was cancelled as the course was closed for 3 weekends, following the heavy rainfall resulting in the Trent bursting its banks. 

So this was the best weather that we could have hoped for, hot for some but not for others. The competition is held over 2 days, medal - not for the faint hearted. So Gents and Ladies Club Champion is the best gross score and for the first time this year, we had prizes for the best net Ladies, in 2 divisions, Division 1, handicaps 19 and below and Division 2, handicaps 20 plus.

A great day for me, seeing Lady Vice Captain Bec being crowned as Ladies Club Champion at Branston for 2012. 

Well done also to Helen, best net Division 1 and to Donna, best net for Division 2.

a great chance for me to meet up with someone from the States who gave me my very first golf lesson around 7 years ago at Branston. She had me hitting balls off the tee with my eyes closed and it was a lovely surprise to see her again today.

Sandy, I look forward to my next lesson.......
