It was a good game.

The entertainment was provided by our very competent members and some visitors, including a skit, and of course we all sang along to well known tunes but lyrics with a golf bent of course. Thank you Glenda Kennedy for your wonderful effort in producing such entertainment.

All that was left to do to complete the proceeding was to count the money bags on the Christmas tree to be donated to the helicopter rescue service.

A huge thank you everyone for making the day so successful.

A big thank you also to Pro Terry, outside staff and indoor staff.

You all contribute to making the ladies golf days go so smoothly.

Merry Christmas everyone, with whomever you are going to be with, stay safe and healthy and bring on 2023 and even better golf.
