Ladies Section

Welcome to the Ladies Section of Gosforth Golf Club.

We are a very friendly and sociable group of Ladies who play golf throughout the year. If golf is cancelled we meet in the clubhouse for coffee.

Competitions are played on Sundays and Tuesdays during the summer months aiming to give all ladies a chance to play competitive golf. The majority of ladies play between 9.15 and 11am on a Tuesday. A smaller group – the ‘evening players’ – tee off after 4pm. Another group plays the same competition on a Sunday choosing their own playing times. 9 hole competitions are arranged on Tuesdays; these are open to all ladies, so if you have limited time, are returning from injury or only want to play 9 holes there is the opportunity.

The majority of our competitions are drawn so new members always have a playing partner and quickly feel part of the ladies section.

I started playing golf about 20 years ago and have played most of my golf at Gosforth. I started as an ‘evening player’ with a 36 handicap. Since retiring from teaching I have played on a Tuesday morning, joining the committee two years ago and am now Captain!

At Gosforth we endeavour to give all ladies the opportunity to play competitively against other clubs. We field 3 league teams and our strong 1st Team plays in Division 1. We also enter the Norah Percy and TR Percy knockout inter-club competitions, which are for higher handicappers.

Play continues throughout the winter months with a 15 hole ball competition every Tuesday and a Foursomes Match play League on a Friday.

During my Captain’s year I have chosen to support the RVI Tiny Lives Unit.

Last year I experienced first hand the care and support given by a special care baby unit in Melbourne, Australia.  My granddaughter was born 7 weeks prematurely and spent the first 5 weeks of her life in a special care baby unit. The care that she and her parents received was exceptional. Olive is now a happy and active little girl approaching her first birthday.

The ladies section is organised by a very enthusiastic and friendly committee. If you are interested in joining the Ladies Section please contact me or my Vice-captain Sian Oakley. We will happily arrange a round for you as an introduction to the Club.

I wish you all a successful and enjoyable season in 2012.
