Leicestershire and Rutland Veteran Ladies v Warwickshire at Nuneaton 26th June
This was a combined 1st and 2nd Team match, the first four tee times were played off scratch, the second four off handicap. Unfortunately, Jacqui was not present for personal reasons, but said “I would like to start by thanking my Vice Captain, Trish Formoy and President, Andrena Porter, for standing in for me at this match as ongoing family commitments took me to back home to Wales.”
The luck of 2nd team continued as we played our sixth match in the dry with sunny skies, even if a tad windy.
The 16 ladies who took part came from eight clubs over the counties so it was a great opportunity for all to meet new people. The 1st team was represented by ladies from Charnwood Forest, Cosby, Kilworth Springs, Kirby Muxloe, Longcliffe and Lutterworth; the 2nd team by ladies from Lutterworth, Lingdale, Charnwood Forest, Longcliffe and Ullesthorpe.
The overall result of a loss to Warwickshire 6 to 2 was very harsh. We achieved one win, two halves, and several of matches were very close; well done all
The Warwickshire ladies were very welcoming, and all the games were played in the true spirit of golf. The course played very well, and the meal afterwards was of exceptional quality. The feedback was that everyone enjoyed the day, which is the most important thing regardless of the result.
