GLCGS Results & REPORTS 2024
THE GLCGS AGM at BAWA, FILTON, MONDAY 19th FEBRUARY 2024
GLCGS NEW CAPTAINS MEETING, MONDAY MARCH 18TH 2024 at THORNBURY GC
Twelve of us met at Thornbury Golf Centre, 8 new Lady Captains and 4 past Captains. I had decided the Friday before that the course was too soggy to play on and made alternative plans.
After an introduction to each other we enjoyed pre-golf delicious, generously filled bacon and sausage baps with tea or coffee. Then we went onto the Driving Range to play a fun competition on the TRACKMAN. I chose the front 9 at Adare Manor in Ireland. This will be the next home venue for the Ryder Cup, in 2027. It was fantastic fun, you had to think and sometimes just laugh as we were playing a “virtual” course with no wind, rain or mud. Very strange given our weather conditions for the past several months. The ball was running to say the least and there were a couple of VERY good scores off the White tees. Let’s just say that we are available should the European Captain need us! Later we had a Nearest the Pin competition on the par 3 7th hole at Pebble Beach. We each had three attempts off and three ladies got on the green. Some went down onto the beach, which sadly was out of bounds but looked appealing in the on-screen sunshine.
After a one course dinner we enjoyed more chat, had the presentation and I sold many items of clothing kit.
I had many emails and kind words afterwards saying that the ladies had enjoyed the event and felt encouraged to come to matches and events. This was the idea of the day, to show that we have fun and are inclusive.
Winners : Hidden partners 9 hole competition.
1st place Sharon Crawford (Long Ashton) and Jackie Pask (Thornbury)
2nd place Chrissie Savage (Bristol & Clifton) and Michelle Craker (Cotswold Edge)
Nearest the Pin : Karen Alexander (Forest Hills) a fantastic 16 ft from the pin.
Prizes donated by Simon Craker.
Thankyou to all of the ladies for coming and to the Thornbury Ladies, Jackie Jackson, Jackie Pask and Jenny Dennis for your help around the clubhouse

GLCGS COMMITTE AWAY DAY, TEWKESBURY PARK GC 12th APRIL 2024
After several,days of phone calls and will we/won’t we discussions the rain stopped and the sun shone for us at Tewkesbury Park GC
15 ladies arrived and most of us had not played golf for several months due to our courses being closed and no no buggies.
As usual, friends reunited and we set off for - as most said - a walk to try and play some golf.
The course played remarkably well and most ladies managed 18 holes.
The meal afterwards was very good and welcome as we were all hungry.
Two ladies tied for first place in the Stableford competition,On count back Jane Barrett won with 31 points and Michelle Craker came second. Amazing amount of points given the conditions Congratulations and ‘well done’ to both of you and well done to everyone for playing.

GLCGS SPRING BOWMAKER, FOREST HILLS GC 29TH APRIL 2024
57 Present and Past Lady Captains signed up to play in our first event of the year.
After the wettest winter on record, I hoped for better weather on Monday but unfortunately it was not to be. The ladies were battered by very strong winds and the last few teams out got very wet. Still, this did not prevent the ladies saying they enjoyed playing the course which was in superb condition.
We were given a warm welcome in the clubhouse from the staff at Forest Hills and excellent food after play added to the atmosphere and enjoyment. The weather did influence the scores however All were very close.
1st place Jane Barrett Cots Edge,Sue Trewin Brickie,Barbara Smyth Cleeve 71 points
2nd place Laura Barnett,Jenny Fisher,Rachel Hill..Kendleshire. 67 points
3rd place Pam Dukes,Ellie Teasdale Ross GC Debbie Griffiths SHGC…66 points on countback.
