⛳️ RGC Ladies Away Day to Saltburn
On Tuesday 46 ladies set off bright and early from Richmond Golf Club, bound for Saltburn Golf Club for what turned out to be a brilliant day both on and off the course.
The ladies played a team Texas Scramble, with some excellent scores – in fact, there wasn’t much separating the field, with scores ranging from just 52 to 60!
🏆 Texas Scramble
🥇 Sue Kipling, Jade Chung, Mel Albrighton & Chris Chambers
🥈 Mary Ann Hyde, Jenny Wong, Jane Scott & Fiona Gill
And at the other end of the leaderboard… Barbara Willis, Susan Gardner & Sheila Sadler, assisted by their trusty ghost player, took the honours for enjoying the lovely sea views.
There were plenty of other challenges throughout the day too:
⛳ Nearest the Pin, 2nd – Nic Bailey
⛳ Nearest the Pin, 9th – Karen Jobling
⛳ Nearest the Pin in Two, 12th – Mel Dickinson
🏌️ Putting Competition – Clair Jones
🏌️ Chipping Competition – Eileen Catt & Julie Napier
The putting competition caused plenty of entertainment, with everyone having to putt at the sound of the whistle.
Afterwards, Saltburn Golf Club provided a delicious meal – with a bit of a hen-do theme as everyone celebrated the forthcoming weddings of our Lady Captain Claire Bateman to Lee Coward and Sue Stocks to her partner. 💍🥂
The fun continued on the journey home with songs on the coach and Claire attempting the Mr & Mrs Golf Quiz – with varying degrees of success! A special mention must surely go to the very patient coach driver!
Huge Congratulations to Vicky Mathers on becoming our new Vice Captain, who I’m sure will be a great asset to Nic Bailey during her tenure as Lady Captain.
A huge thank you to Nic Bailey for organising such a fantastic day and also to Saltburn Golf Club for hosting us.
