Leamington & County Golf Club

A hole in one is always a momentous occasion in a golfer’s life and so it was for Kath Howell after 7 years playing golf.  To mark her achievement on the 8th and to celebrate others’ success, Kath has presented a trophy to the Ladies’ Section.  There is no time limit on how long you can hold the trophy as it all depends upon when the next hole in one happens – could be a day, weeks or years!

It has been another enjoyable year for the Warwickshire League Team captained by Elizabeth Murdoch.  She rallied her team through convincing victories over Hearsall, Stratford upon Avon, Stratford Oaks and North Warwickshire but Rugby ladies proved to be too strong to allow the Leamington & Count team to progress to the semi final stage.

Many ladies have been given the opportunity to represent the club this season in the league games and this experience should prove invaluable for following seasons.

The team for the matches have included the following ladies: Elizabeth Murdoch, Gina Clark, Gill Thorpe, Chris Lees, Margaret Sheepy, Diana Phillips, Caroline Dixon, Helen Battersby, Ali McLean, Angela Bungard, Felicity Carless, Kath Howell, Tina BRuder, Marylyn Bond, Pauline Moffat and Liz Munton.

Starting in April and ending in September, the B Team play 21 fixtures; at the time of writing this report we are four months into the season.

To-date results are evenly balanced, out of 11 matches played, 5 have been won, 5 lost and 1 halved.

What has been very encouraging for our club is the enthusiasm shown by members to play for the team. Twenty – one members showed their interest in playing in each of first 4 fixtures and this keenness has carried on throughout the season.

We believe that the success of the B team, on and off the course, lies in the philosophy of our previous Captain, Arthur Walton, who left us with the phrase, Go out and do your best, but what ever the result – enjoy your self. And we do!

So, on behalf of our club, thank you Gentlemen for your support.

Over the years we have played a number of clubs who sport club team shirts, so in the interest of team spirit, a new development for this season has been the purchase of Leamington & County B Team logo shirts.

Once again we shall end the season with a B Team away day, this year at the Burford Golf Club on September 16^th. If any player has not yet signed on for the day, please see the sheet on the team notice board.
