It’s official! Yea Golfing Ladies Season 2025 has begun.
This year we went above and beyond to start this years festivities. Firstly , arranged, a pre opening dinner, attended by 24 lovely ladies, not necessarily all players, but in some shape or form all involved in the club. One of our sponsors, The Royal Mail Hotel, hosted the somewhat jovial crowd. Strategically placed around the corner , out of sight, we will tell ourselves it was for privacy but, secretly I think it may have been to save the other customers ears. None the less, we were all oblivious to what else was going on. Understand the night was really enjoyable, food, refreshments and most of all the enjoyment of comradery, something greatly appreciated amongst the Yea Golf Members and partners. Never a dull moment.
We held a little presentation to top the night. We were very pleased to have back in our midst Past member and Club Champion Adrianne Anglin. Adrianne has moved onto another chapter to her life and we wish her the most very best for the future. So, in appreciation for all the things she had contributed to the club during her time with us, we presented a small token of wine and, of course chocolates. What girl doesn’t appreciate these fine things. Thank you Adrianne and enjoy.
Sadly it was time to end our night (maybe all were looking to go to bed) , as we know we had another big day tomorrow. The official get together, striking the first ball for the season.
This year we were privileged to have a long standing member, and a many time Club Champion, Laraine Callander, to strike the very first ball, and that she did, without a care in the world , and I must say a very fine hit it was. The Season officially opened!
Teams were chosen and it was off for a nine hole Ambrose. I, for one was very pleased it did not go to far into the day, as the temperature was rising. Once again lots of laughs as those new or those out of practice tried there luck hitting that famous little round ball. Won’t say white, as there so many colours these days, round will suffice. Lots of hits n giggles.
Fun over, it was into the Club House to partake ,as usual, the cooks at Yea surpassed themselves with the abundant supply of food glorious food. There are some really awesome cooks. Bellies filled, it was time for the formalities for the day.
Todays winners, none other than our past champ Adrianne and her lucky sidekick Vicky Butler took the honours. Margie Wright and her partner Tina runner ups. We were lucky to have ten teams to participate. One major highlight was an amazing Birdie on the 11th accomplished by, one of our new comers, Jenny Bennett. Keep that up and you are sure to be a star. Congratulations!!!
Lastly but not least the Presentations of the Gobblers, Birdies and the eclectic scores for the past year. This year it was a wee bit of a scoop for member Sharon Grogan, taking the honours of Birdies and both the Scratch and Handicap Eclectic. Gobblers belonged to Cindy Armstrong , our Social activities Butterfly. Well done girls Congratulations. Prizes, we were once again spoilt by the donations of our Life Member Miranda Gill. thank you Miranda.
Day over, clean up and ponder on all the things we need to do to improve our golfing capabilities for the up n coming season. Happy Golfing girls, enjoyed a great couple of days. Here’s to 2025!!!! May you hit many a nice ball!!
