NUGC Ladies' Annual Dinner

MainGuests2 NCLGA President Maureen Clarke was a special guest of Notts Union President Bob Ward at the Ladies’ Annual Dinner which took place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Nottingham, on Friday 12th January 2018 – the same night as the NUGC Annual Dinner.
Bob and Maureen welcomed many of the attendees to Afternoon Tea in advance of the Dinners. Presidents and Past Presidents from several English Counties were in attendance at the very popular and successful NUGC Annual Dinner, and many of their wives attended the Annual Ladies’ Dinner which was hosted by Maureen.

Maureen welcomed the ladies, and said how delighted she was to be Bob’s guest, to meet them all, and wished them a very enjoyable evening. After an excellent 3-course meal, Maureen introduced the Guest Speaker, Gaynor, from Burleigh’s Gin and Gin School 45 in Leicestershire. The ladies enjoyed an excellent talk on the History of Gin and were able to taste the new flavours of Gin that are now available. Bob provided all attendees with a gift – a miniature bottle of Gin! Everyone said how much they enjoyed the evening and Bob, Maureen and Mandy Bee (who had organised the Ladies’ Dinner) were thanked by Lynn Stubbings, wife of Midland Golf Union President, for a great evening. Maureen was presented with a huge bouquet of flowers.

County President's Day 2017

CPD1 The Inaugural County President’s Day was played at Sherwood Forest Golf Club on Monday 9 October to raise funds for County Match Week 2018, which is to be hosted by Notts County Ladies’ Golf Association. It was a lovely Autumnal day and the full field of 100 players enjoyed playing the course which was in immaculate condition. The format was a four-ball Stableford Am Am with 2 scores to count, 90% handicap. There were prizes for nearest the pin on all four short holes.

At the half-way house the players enjoyed a little break to eat delicious cakes and drink tea or coffee from china cups. After play, a buffet meal and sweet were enjoyed in the dining-room and raffle tickets were checked. The raffle table was fantastically well-laden with prizes provided by competitors and officials. Players were also able to enter a prize draw for a free four-ball at Sherwood Forest Golf Club and a prize draw for a free four-ball at Notts Golf Club, Hollinwell, as well as take part in the Putting Competition to get the ball nearest to the bottle using the whole length of the practice putting green.
