SLCGA CENTENARY FOURSOMES
Haverhill Golf Club20th June 2024
On a beautiful sunny day on what was the Summer Solstice, Haverhill kindly hosted our Centenary Foursomes competition for 2024. Despite a very small of just 10 pairs, we still welcomed some new faces to the competition, and many of our ‘regulars’. Haverhill is a long way to travel for many ladies and this may be why the number of entries was down this year, but for those that didn’t enter, they missed a treat! The course was in fantastic condition, the hosts were genial and very helpful, and the catering superb, and a good day was had by all.
This is a 27 hole Foursomes stableford competition for entrants with a combined handicap index from 39.0 – 64.9. The morning scores didn’t have much between them, but then new entrants to the competition, Mandy Read and Christine Bloomfield, stormed away with a total of 55 points over the 27 holes, winning by a margin of 6 points, a very respectable score. These ladies had never entered a County Competition before so were absolutely thrilled that they won. Perhaps this might inspire so other new entrants for next year?
The Centenary Salvers and vouchers were presented by Tanya McGregor, Captain of S.L.C.G.A. Special thanks went to Carol Salmon, Haverhill’s Lady Captain, Siobhan Harrison for Meeting & Greeting, Elaine Ward and Sandy Taylor for being the starters, Elaine Ward (again) and Anne Reed for preparing the cards, and the many ball spotters who helped on the day. A special thanks to Becky in bar / catering who was the most helpful young lady I’ve had the pleasure in meeting, and lastly, Andy, the Club Manager.

1ST Mandy Read & Christine Bloomfield Rushmere 55 points
1st Mandy Read & Christine Bloomfield (Rushmere)
2nd Pam Madams & Viv Whittaker Bury St Edmunds 49 points on CB
