Well, we continue to be blessed with wonderful weather for our events this year.
We held the Claret Jug in July with 60 ladies playing in our singles competition at Bramley GC.

The winner this year was Barbara Dawkins from Hankley Common.

The Autumn meeting was played in September at Clandon Regis with a field of 54.

The winners of this event were Viv Harris and Lorna Robey.
You can read more about these events and the matches on our website.

We have now played all of our inter county matches, and again, we were fortunate with
the weather, particularly the last match at the end of September against Sussex at
Littlehampton, which was contested on a brilliant sunny day with no wind on their lovely
links course. We recorded a win over Sussex and halved the matches with Kent and Hampshire
having already lost against Berkshire back in the Spring.

We had 39 ladies playing in one or more of the matches including some new members.

The LOLAS lunch was held this week at Walton Heath GC. It was a very successful
event with 27 in attendance and an excellent lunch after a short, interesting talk from
Michael Mann, the head green keeper at Walton Heath.

Thanks go to Sara Brown for organising this event.

The season is nearly over with just the mixed invitation at New Zealand GC at the end
of October to come. This year, I am pleased to say that, we have invited Jason Stevens
from Battleback, to play in this event with me. As you know we have supported
Battleback for some years now, with contributions from our ball sweeps.

I must thank my committee for all their hard work in making sure that all our events
run smoothly making them enjoyable days for you all.
I wish you all well and hope that we continue to have some lovely autumnal weather
to play in for the next few weeks.
