Congratulations to Carol Wild from Notts Ladies, with a gross 82, she claimed the Jubilee Bowl Scratch and the Gill Shawcross Scratch Cup for over 55s, at the County Summer Meeting which took place at Wollaton Park Golf Club on Monday 8th July. Wollaton is always a great venue and it was a delight to see the deer across the course. Thank you to Wollaton for hosting such an enjoyable day.

48 ladies took part with handicaps ranging from 2 – 31. The competition has a gross winner, but is now a stapleford to encourage all players on a variety of handicaps to play, with prizes across two divisions.

Gill Eaton, from Stanton, was the winner of the Jubilee Bowl Handicap and the Veterans Challenge Cup. Jackie Richards won the Dorothy Payne Cup.

2nd Team Home Match v Leics

LeicsH19a The second team played Leicestershire at the Nottinghamshire Golf and Country Club on Tuesday 9th July. The Championship Course at the Nottinghamshire was in very good condition and it is fair to say that the Leicestershire players were very impressed with it.

The morning foursomes finished with Notts 2-1 up. Louise Wilding and Lizzie Wood once again gained a point for us, this was backed up by Carol Houghton and Emma Anderson. It was nice to go into the afternoon singles matches with the advantage and we gained 4 more points in the singles. This gave us an overall and very pleasing result of 6 – 3 with points being gained by Jan Hiken, Jacey Peacock (half), Emma Anderson, Carol Houghton and Louise Wilding (half). Our ‘rookie’ Lesley Morris had a great day and enjoyed her first experience of county golf.

Many thanks to the team that day of Emma Anderson, Jan Hiken, Carol Houghton, Lesley Morris, Jacey Peacock, Louise Wilding and Lizzie Wood, once again not forgetting the assistance of Di Payne who offered many words of support to us all!

2nd Team v Lincolnshire at Elsham

LincsA19 Our first second team match this year took place at Elsham Golf Club on Wednesday 4th July. Our opponents were Lincolnshire – always tricky!

Elsham is a beautiful parkland course and was appreciated by all. The morning foursomes finished with us being 2-1 down, Louise Wilding and Lizzie Wood secured a valuable point for us. The afternoon matches went to the wire. We were all waiting for the last match to finish to see which way the result would go but this was lost on the 18th however, a valiant effort was made by Audrey MacMillan against Lincolnshire’s strongest player. Carol Houghton, Louise Wilding and Jan Hiken won their matches giving us a final result of 5 – 4 in Lincolnshire’s favour, a close result.

Many thanks to the team that day of Jan Hiken, Carol Houghton, Audrey MacMillan, Jacey Peacock, Louise Wilding and Lizzie Wood, also not forgetting the assistance of Di Payne who kept the team well watered and fed!

County Matches 2019

Team 2019a The 2019 County Matches are taking place this week (24th - 26th June) at the Shropshire Golf Centre near Telford in Shropshire.

It was a great first day for Notts with a 4-1 win against Leicestershire in the morning. With wins for Esme Hamilton and Libby Kilbride in the singles and Vicki Johnson with Caron Harrison and Rachael Bolton with Jodie Peacock in the foursomes.

Then a halved match in the afternoon against Lincolnshire with wins for Libby Kilbride in the singles, and Rachael Bolton and Jodie Peacock in the foursomes. With the half secured by Lauren Spray on the final hole.

The bad weather meant the second day morning matches had to be stopped after the first few holes. Play re-started at 2pm for Notts v Derbyshire. In what is a very competitive matchup, Notts got the early points on the board from Rachael Bolton and Jodie Peacock, continuing their winning ways in the foursomes and a win for Esme Hamilton on the 15th in the singles. With three matches in the balance Derbyshire managed to pull off the closest of wins. Unlucky Notts losing out 3-2.
