MNR Handicap Match v Leics 2017
The girls handicap team had their first match of the season at Beedles Lakes golf club on Sunday 7th May. They played Leicestershire girls on bright sunny day, enjoying a course that was new to all of them, however the number of trees played a factor in the matches on both sides!
Notts took an early lead then Leicestershire came back in the middle order before, Ankita Anand playing her first match, battled right to the end to halve her match on the final hole.
There are two more matches for the second team later this season.

The team of girls worked extremely hard running the desk, acting as starters, holding a putting competition, cleaning clubs and a raffle. Their efforts saw them raise over £350 in those activities alone. The whole day raised over £950 in funds for the girls, so a sincere thanks to all those who participated in the day, and the members and visitors at Springwater who also made donations.Our sincere thanks go to Springwater GC for agreeing to host the event , and keeping everyone fed and watered during day.
A final thank you to Helen Boulton for organising the competition entries and Helen Maber, County Captain, for facilitating the prize giving.
