Women’s Captain’s Swansong 2026

What a busy couple of weeks it’s been — and I thought I was winding down!

Our recent 9-Hole Flag Competition was won by Kay Woolley — very well done, Kay (especially given the rather rainy conditions…!).

We were also delighted to see Amy Watters and Sue Cooke progress to the finals of the BCLGA Winter Greensomes. They will play at Burnham Beeches against a pair from Ellesborough or Gerrards Cross. Best of luck to you both — bring that trophy home again as defending champions!

Captain’s Swansong Events

My final two competitions were a wonderful way to round off the year.

The Captain’s Swansong Trophy (Major Competition) took place on Thursday, with Lyndsey Carter claiming victory with an excellent 20 points over 9 holes (weather-adjusted!).

Then on Saturday 21st February, we held my Final Swansong — and what a fabulous day it was. Congratulations to Liz Clegg, Suse Muir-Browne and Sharon Symons, who won with a superb 33 points.

It has been a pleasure — thank you all for your support.

Happy Golfing ⛳
