Welcome to this weeks newsletter,
We start this week with news of a brand new competition dreamt up by a couple of ladies called Liz and Jane.
Liz's vs Jane's
Over to our guest speaker for this one, Jane Mahood...
"This week saw the inaugural Names match of Thurlestone Golf Club. The Lizs against the Janes. There were six Janes and eight Lizs, so the match comprised of 4 pairs playing singles matchplay and two threes (2 Lizs v 1 Jane) with the two Lizs playing in a foursomes format against the Janes.
There was a longest drive on the first, but instead of using a ball each player teed up a marshmallow and 'drove' it. This filled in the time waiting for the team in front to clear the green. There was a 'Nearest the pin' on the sixth, and a prize for any twos.
The match was played with great enthusiasm and everyone had a really good time. The result was two wins, two losses and two halves to each team, so a draw overall. Very satisfactory!
The longest drive was won by Jane Smyth, nearest the pin by Jane Mason and two twos by Jane Edmonds and Jane Mason. Enough said! The Janes and/or the Lizs would respond positively to a challenge from another team of names. The Dave's or John's? Or even the Steves!"
It sounded like great fun Ladies, I particularly liked the longest Drive with the Marshmallows! If you would like to view Jane Smyth's awesome drive click here.
