This week the Ladies US Open takes place at the Country Club of Charleston in South Carolina. There are 29 countries represented in the 156 field. There are 26 amateurs playing this week, the youngest at only 14 years, 9 months and 10 days old. Dame Laura Davies is the Championships oldest competitor at age 55. Here’s hoping some of our ladies giving golf a go this week will be inspired to take up the game as a result. We have 18 ladies coming along to some coaching sessions starting this week. I’m delighted to say that we are almost at full capacity for this year’s Pro’s Day this coming Saturday. I’ve been keeping an eye on the weather and fingers crossed it’s currently looking dry, not too windy, with temperatures into the mid-teens which would be fantastic. The event is a team stableford competition with the best 2 from 4 scores counting towards your team total. We will be trying to raise some money on the day for our chosen charity which is the local Ladybird Group in Lossiemouth. The cost is £15 per person which includes prizes, BBQ and refreshments on the day! We will be taking payments and handing out scorecards in the Pro Shop and cards can be returned to the South Lounge after your rounds where Steve Crane will be on hand to check your cards and post your scores onto the leaderboard. We will aim to have a short presentation after the golf is complete and before the football kicks off at 8pm. We will also post the results on the Facebook page and in next week’s newsletter.
