Silver Salver Success for Cat and Guy

Well done to Catrin Roberts and Guy Williams who won the mixed Silver Salvers competition on Bank Holiday Monday with a foursomes nett medal score of 66.

They beat Sylvia Kempsell and Mervyn Wynyard into second place, after they shot 67. In third place were the Vice Captains pairing of Jenny Tracey and Tim Smith, who scored 68.

It was great to see 12 pairs taking part in the final Bank Holiday competition of the season, and it was the second mixed success for Cat and Guy in 2023 after they won the George Simon Trophy in May.

Captain's Day

This year's Men's Captain's Day was won with a great score of 42pts by Andy Mildenhall. Second place with 41pts went to Charlie Hwang, with Tim Smith third on 40.

Runciman Cup Triumph for Kinga

Well done to Kinga Nemes who won the Runciman Cup on Sunday with an impressive score of 40 points. She was six points ahead of the ladies who finished 2nd to 4th, with Zeenat Nanji runner-up on countback.

It was the seventh Lady Golfer of the Year event, which still has Catrin Roberts on top with 91 points, followed by Jane Northeast on 85 points.

Double Delight for Lorna

There was double delight for Lorna Dolinska who won two ladies' trophies in a week.

Then three days later she won the Vincent Cup, with a score of 36 points, pipping Sue Choularton by one point.

Jim White Trophy

Well played Roger Rushton who recently won this year's Jim White Trophy with a nett score of 67. Roger Singleton, also with a 67, just missed out on countback to finish runner up.

Congratulations go to Colin Grassing who recently won the Charlie Mist Cup with a medal score of nett 64. Runner-up on 68 was Neale Higgs.

Football shirt surprise for Lady Captain Sue!

Lady Captain Sue Choularton had a wonderful surprise on her Lady Captain's Day when all the ladies had a co-ordinated unveiling of blue-and-white striped football shirts before the start of the event.

Sue, a passionate Chester FC fan, had asked for the ladies to dress in blue-and-white in honour of her football team. But she had no idea what was happening when they gathered for a team photo on the putting green.

When the photographers were ready, the ladies unzipped their jackets to reveal all were wearing Chester FC-style blue-and-white striped football shirts! Not only that, but their nicknames were on the back as well as numbers representing their handicaps.

It was a wonderful start to the day, which went on to raise £360 for the Captains' charities from a putting and chipping competition, beat-the-pro (a big thanks to Michael Lowe) and an auction. 

There was a popular winner of the golf, with June Harris scoring an impressive 40pts, followed by Lady Vice-Captain Jenny Tracey, with Jane van Egmond third on countback. Jane Northeast won the putting and chipping competition.

Congratulations to Catrin

The winner of this year's George Simon Belle was Catrin Roberts, who scored 33pts in the July 23rd competition. She beat Jane Northeast on countback, with Jenny Tracey third on 31pts.

It's the sixth Lady Golfer of the Year event and leaves Cat topping the current table on 85pts, followed by Jane Northeast on 76pts and Jenny on 57pts.

Leatherhead ladies win international match!

A team of eight Leatherhead ladies beat international opposition when eight ladies from the La Manga Club in Spain flew over for a match on July 26th.

Well done to the Leatherhead team of Sue Choularton, Jenny Tracey,  Jane Northeast, Sue Wakerley, Lorna Dolinska, Sylvia Kempsell, Leonie Finch and Hilary Morgan, who won 3 v 1 in the 4BBB match.

The La Manga team were captained by Gabby Coates, who is also a member of Leatherhead. Plans are now being hatched for the 'away' fixture in 2024 when La Manga will no doubt hope to get their revenge.

George Simon Tray

Congratulations to Vernon Crittenden who won the GOTY5 George Simon Tray with a score of 39pts. Runner-up on countback with 38pts was Nick Taylor, with David Palmer and Will Hollington just behind also on 38pts.
