It was a lovely, warm and sunny Autumnal day and the full field of 100 players enjoyed playing the course which was in excellent condition. The format was a four-ball Stableford Am-Am with 2 scores to count, 90% handicap. There were prizes for the first four teams, nearest the pin on all four short holes, and a putting competition.
The Ladies Interclub Final was held at Stanton On The Wolds Golf Club on Monday 10th September between Rudd ington and Mapperley. The final started in overcast and fairly blustery conditions, however this didn’t deter the determination of both teams who fought well throughout the matches.The greens as usual were in excellent condition and proved to be quite tricky in the wind, thank you to Stanton Golf Club and their members for their hospitality and for giving us courtesy of the course. Thank you also to Lindsay Carruthers and Val Peet who refereed the matches. Both teams were very well supported by members from their clubs.
