My Challenge...........

Charlotte, Glen, Lynne, Me, Helen, Jane, Brian

So I finally got to play my long awaited Lady Captains Challenge and it was truly a day to remember. Bright sunshine all day and not a drop of rain and apart from not being able to complete this at Branston, I couldn't have wished for a better day.

Team Tierney were ready to go no matter what happened and I am indebted to everyone who gave up their time to come along to help out. 

Whittington Lady Vice Captain and Lady President

  

            In addition, I cannot thank Whittington Golf Club enough for their kindness and support to ensure that we completed the Challenge within my year as Lady Captain. 

A warm welcome from Mr Captain and Lady Captain greeted us as soon as we arrived, we were then joined by Lady Vice Captain and Lady President who both came back to the club later in the day to congratulate us all.

This was my 3rd team that had been assembled, my original teams in place in the preceding weeks, were unable to help out due to work commitments once the dates changed. 

So a massive thanks to the following club members:

Helen Hall - for driving me safely around the course, an unexpected bonus at being given a buggy to use and also for being my guide

Lynne Clay - for keeping ahead of us for each shot taken, to spot the ball

Jane Winn - for recording the finer details of every hole including time and shots taken

Glen Walker - for relaying information back to the club house and for making us smile (roar with laughter is more appropriate)

Charlotte Barker / Trudie Hanson - for updating the Blog and Facebook hole by hole.

Mr Captain Colin Shaw - for being there

Finally, last but not least, wonderful, patient, long suffering hubby Brian who basically masterminded the whole thing - I couldn't have done this without him

The story that unfolded as the Challenge took place was a joy to read when I returned home and a great memory of a great day.

Last minute preparations, checking for the lippy

Time to go, no turning back now
