Friendly v Essex - Home Chestfield 26th September
This was held at my home club and I was very pleased that Essex were able to get a team and the match was able to take place. Yet again weather was fantastic. I was very proud of the course and a great time was had by all Score was 3-3 so the best one to date but I don’t care this is where friendships are formed. Thank you to all Kent ladies who played that day.
Friendly v Sussex - Away West Hove 29th August
I have been blessed this year with the weather and yet again we had a lovely day. We did have a slight hick up one of our ladies unfortunately stuck in Düsseldorf! due to the nightmare with air traffic control, which was a shame so we had one less player. West Hove was a lovely course some advice I had before the day was you need one leg longer than the other!! I’m not talking about results anymore I don’t like them. The sweet trolley we were served after dinner was certainly the best I have ever seen it was delicious. Thank you to Linda Brand Captain of Sussex for all her hard work.
Friendly v Surrey - Away Chipstead 28th July
We were blessed with a lovely sunny day when we travelled to Chipstead for our match against Surrey. Funny little course but thoroughly enjoyed it. Pat and her team made us all very welcome and we had a great fun day. Our meal was delicious. The result didn’t go out way (5-3) but who’s counting.
Friendly Vs Sussex - Home at Tenterden 10th July
This was the postponed match from April due to the heavy rain. What a difference in weather! A great day was had by all in a very friendly match, well until the 7th game came. As the 8th was already in the score was 3 ½ - 3 ½ all square in the 7th game and the Sussex lady putted in from off the green to win the match! So final score Kent lost 3 ½ - 4 ½. No hard feelings.
