The Nottinghamshire Schools championships were held at Sherwood Forest GC on Friday 12th April. It was a brilliant day with 11 entries from girls.

There was also  a hole in one for Lexi Williams-Green! It was a week of tumbling handicaps - the girls have worked so hard on their game over the winter.

NUGC Annual Ladies Dinner

NCLGA President Maureen Clarke hosted the NUGC Annual Ladies' Dinner on behalf of the NU President Bob Ward, at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, on Friday 11th January.

The England Golf President Desmond Duffy and Presidents and Past Presidents from many Counties attended the very popular NU Dinner. The Presidents’ wives were welcomed to the NU Ladies’ Dinner by Maureen, and after an excellent meal Maureen introduced the guest speaker Jan Palmer who gave an interesting talk about the History of Soap and the aromatics she uses in making natural soaps. Bob provided a beautifully wrapped gift of natural soaps for each lady, and a bouquet of flowers for Maureen. A vote of thanks was given by Mavis Peplow, Midland Golf Union President’s Lady.
