3rd Team v Northamptonshire at Northampton Golf Club.

We received a very warm welcome from Christine, Captain of the Northamptonshire Vets.  Sandra (VC) and I along with Christine and her Vice Captain Liz had hoped for a few holes after the match.  Alas, this did not happen re too many Northampton members booked in to play after our last  tee time.  Hence, we walked some of the course and watched some fantastic shots over the water on the 16th. There was one group who were ready to tee off and were waving frantically at us.  Sandra and I thought maybe we were in their line of play so promptly moved to one side. Alas, it was the Canada Geese that were on the green that they wanted us to shoo away!!

We had a few nervous ladies who were very hesitant in playing but by the end of the match they were looking forward to playing again for the Vets.

It was congratulations to Northamptonshire as they won 7 games to 1, this Christine said was their first win this year, what a shame it was against us. 😪 As ladies though we accepted defeat graciously and will now look forward to next year’s challenge.

The day was finished off with fish & chips, followed by chocolate brownie, ice cream and chocolate sauce………I’m now on a diet….maybe until tomorrow.

Thank you ladies and trust you all enjoyed your day.
