The Golf Club

Welcome to the Ladies' section of the Lamberhurst website.

Yvonne Drummond ~ Ladies' Captain 2022/2023

Tuesday is Ladies competition day with reserved tee times starting at 9.30 am in the summer and 10.00 am in the winter. Just book-in to an 'available' time slot on the start sheet on the online ClubV1 site. You can also view results, handicaps and members contact details there.

We play in the County individual and team competitions with considerable success, winning the Tappin Trophy and the Coombe Cup in 2022. Our Pearson Trophy team have had consistently excellent results. New and existing members with handicaps, are encouraged to join these squads. We have implemented a mentoring procedure to ease new lady members into our club and towards gaining a handicap.

Our aim is to have fun but at the same time encourage our best golf. Besides our club competitions, we arrange over fifteen ladies' and seven mixed friendly matches a year. Please do sign up for these matches. The sign up sheets for the mixed matches and mixed club competitions are located on the board in The Spike Bar.

Each year The Ladies' Captain chooses a charity to support. This year's charity is Cancer Research UK.

Veterans

Mr Martin Wolfe, Vets Captain 2023

First of all, a big vote of thanks to the outgoing Vets Captain, Robin Turner, for all of his hard work during 2022; he can now relax and do what he enjoys most and that’s just playing golf. My main intention for this year is for all Vets to enjoy playing golf, it’s a simple as that.

We have a full series of events scheduled throughout the year including:
A weekly schedule of events ranging from the fun to the more competitive - These are played on a Monday with tee-off times generally from 8.00am to 10.30am.
27 friendly match’s against 14 clubs in Kent and Sussex - these are a great way to test your skills by of playing different courses within a competitive but friendly environment.
Teams are entered in the Kent Vets Over-60, Over-70 and Over-80 leagues as well as the Kent Vets Club knockout.
A number of “Away days” to Eastbourne and Lullingstone golf courses.
3 day “mini tour” to Ufford Park during May.

My chosen charity for this year is Dementia UK. I think that many of us have seen the effects of this condition on our loved ones and how distressing it sometimes can be. The money we raise will help grow the number of specialist dementia nurses – thus giving more people affected by dementia the life-changing care that they need. I would also urge people to look at their website ( www.dementiauk.org ) which is full of useful information.
New members to the Vets section are always assured of a warm welcome. If you are 60 years old or more and interested in joining please email me at [email protected] or call me on 07863-733387.

May I wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year with good fortune on the golf course.

Martin Wolfe – January 2023
