Women’s Wednesday Golf Report - 19/8/26
This was our week for remembering a former member of Women's Golf, Marilyn Ringk, who we lost way too early, There is no better way to celebrate someone's memory than to head out for a game of golf and then raise a glass to them at the end of play. So we did just that - Here's to you Marilyn. We played a 2 Person Stableford Best Ball Medley off the Yellow Tees, perhaps the most enjoyable game you can play - if you mess up you just pick up your ball, tell your partner "Your hole" and become an interested spectator until the next tee - no pressure!

Pace of Play continues to be a conundrum for the Committee to try and solve. Obviously we can't do it without the cooperation of our members, but put simply players must stay in touch with the group in front of you. Lots of discussion how this can be achieved without the need for the nuclear option - penalising players' scores. Lynette drew the short straw and has been collating and analysing the time taken by each group over the last couple of months. There are some simple steps we can all take (these will be listed on score cards over the next couple of weeks) and Members are asked to be mindful of the whole playing field - some delays may be unavoidable but many are caused by people just not thinking of how their actions impact others. Thank you to Lynette and Joyce who have both put a lot of thought and effort into finding solutions to this perennial problem. Over to us now, we are the problem, but also the solution.
