Sonia Probert, the Lady Captain of Orchardleigh Golf Club, organised the last competition of her year as Captain. The 4BBB competition took place on Tuesday, 19th October and just over thirty ladies took part.

The conditions were not great as although the rain held off, it was a very blustery day. It was an extremely enjoyable event and Sonia was very pleased that the day had raised £160 for the Air Ambulance which is her Captain’s charity for this year.

The prizewinners of the 4BBB were: First – Pat Pitt and Marie Cusworth; second – Loes de Kleuver and Sue Chalker; third – Christina Francis and Christine Arnold; fourth – Carol Weightman and Rebecca Richards. There was also a two-spot competition which produced three winners – Anne Regler, Loes de Kleuver and Diana Bullock. They each received a prize of a sleeve of balls and a birdie hat ball marker.

At the end of September, the Ladies took on the Seniors in their annual event when the two sections thrash it out on the course. The Seniors beat the Ladies in the Individual Stableford scoring, which is the usual outcome, but at the same time there was a 4BBB competition with a Lady and a Senior teamed together. The winners of the 4BBB were Anne Regler and Pete Maunder with forty-three points.

The Ladies’ Summer Knockout competitions have been ongoing throughout the season, but recently two of the finals were played. The Committee Cup, which is a singles knockout, was won by Ann James who beat Sue Sweet.

The Pitt Rosebowl, which is a 4BBB competition, was won by Loes de Kleuver and Carol Weightman who beat Sonia Probert and Mary Ford on the fifteenth hole.
