Next week  sees the start of the Winter League.  Margaret Kerr, Competition Secretary,  has  compiled this guide to  the Friday Competitions

The Ladies play three competitions in one, the Stanley Clark Trophy, Winter League and Winter Ringer every Friday morning (weather permitting) during the winter months commencing the end of October to the first week in March.  We play in 3’s for only 12 holes, the first tee-off time being 10 a.m. and play will be on Lansdowne wherever possible (or the course of the day i.e. Rosemount if Lansdowne is not available).   The greenkeepers will  advise what is the "course of the day".

To get us all started, for the first of these competitions on 25th October,  entry is  online with an official draw being done by the Club.

If you would like to join in, please come upstairs to the Ladies’ Locker Room before 9.45 a.m. on Fridays in order to be included in the draw which is done at 9.50 a.m.   If there are sufficient numbers, a second draw is made at 10 a.m.  We have a small get together afterwards with a short prizegiving of a small gift (usually donated by ladies) to the winner that day  and a golf ball to the  runner up.  

• Please note for the Winter League only, if you win, then 1 is deducted from your handicap and that is your handicap for the next round.
• The Winter Ringer has its own rules in the Rule Book in the upstairs Ladies Locker Room.
• The Stanley Clark Trophy is played only on the second and fourth Fridays of the month.

Come and join us if you can – it's really good fun and nice to meet different ladies to play with.
