Match v Wales Senior Women 2025
This year’s match against Wales Senior Women was held at Aberdovey Golf Club on 7th July and a warm welcome was extended to us on a very windy but warm Monday. A big thanks to the Midlands team, which comprised of the following ladies: Jenny Arnold - Coventry Finham, Caroline Corrigan - Ingestre Park, Anne Fern - Whittington Heath, Sally Jee - Luffenham Ladies, Sam Morris - Brocton Hall, Jayne Fletcher - Whittington Heath, Rachel Rowe - Whittington Heath, Corinne Tooth - Ingestre Park and Carol Wild- Hollinwell.
Thanks also to the two home club ladies who were drafted in as replacements at the last minute for the Midlands, Rhian Cooper and Sian Nickson, who earned us a valuable point!! Helen Lowe and Carol Wild partnered to play Ann Lewis and Pip Settle and unfortunately lost, Ann Lewis was playing with a new putter, which we likened to a magic wand!
Midland women seniors did not shy away from playing in over 30° heat at Lingdale today. Umbrellas for shade rather than rain were the order of the day, as it was very hot and only a little breeze. Some excellent scores were posted in this the first 4 ball Waltz competition held by MSWGA with the twist of all 4 to count on 18th it was well received. Comments from players on the format were very encouraging for example Angela Bateman from SVLGA sent an email saying how they enjoyed themselves on the lovely course of Lindgale, how the facilities and welcome were really good and the Senior Captain was very informative when starting them off. She also added “We all loved the format Waltz 123 it certainly kept us on our toes it's a format we would all consider at our own clubs”.
