Ladies Away Day(s) - Shendish Manor 2016
27 Ladies braved both the M1 and M25 to travel to Hertfordshire's Shendish Manor. Monday morning broke cloudy with drizzle and we were afraid we would spend our first day on the course in miserable weather. However the sun shone and the birds sang and all 27 of us set off in pleasant conditions.
The course proved to be tougher than it looked with very tricky greens and a prevailing wind of 18+ sought to make the course even more difficult.
The hotel was charming, staff helpful and the food delightful. Thanks go to Katie Dixon for providing the apres golf drinks of Pimms, which were fully enjoyed by the ladies. Along with numerous bottles of wine and vast mountains of Olives (our captains gift) .and of course the crisps which somehow found their way under my pillow!!!!!! I wonder who did that!!
Tuesday dawned, a few groggy heads and rain. More rain than we hoped for, in fact torrents of the damn stuff. Not to be deterred we valiant ladies set forth in the pouring rain and almost all of us completed the 18 holes. Which as you can imagine was a major feat.

Monday - Individual stableford
Silver Division: 1st May Burn, 2nd Shirley Osborne, 3rd Cath Emery.

It was a lovely two days and lovely to see Debbie Dale who travelled up from Norfolk to be with us.
