Brian Worthy, Club Chairman and the Club Secretary Chris
Shaw warmly greeted all the players on their arrival for
the eagerly awaited annual match.
After a ham salad lunch John Carr, Society Captain, partnered
by Arnie Vardy, Club President set off in the first match
against Sue Hyde, the Ladies Captain (Burton on Trent) who
played with Margaret Mills the home club Lady Captain.
Despite
the 1st match going the men’s way the rest of the
team could not quite maintain the initial advantage and
the Ladies retained the trophy by the smallest of margins
4 ½ to 3 ½ .
The
Club President, Arnie Vardy, welcomed all the visitors to
Stanedge and said that the Society was always welcome. After
John Carr, Captain proposed the toast “The Ladies”
Sue Hyde responded and thanked the hosts for their hospitality.
A
Cheque was presented to Stanedge G. C. to go towards a seat
in memory of one of the greens staff who was tragically
killed recently. Further cheques were given to Stanedge
G. C. staff who ensured that the day went so well.
The
match in 2010 is due to be hosted by Buxton Golf Club when
Elizabeth Howe (Buxton H. P.) will be the Captain of the
Society of Derbyshire Lady Golf Captains.
