Amanda and Sharon were 6 up at lunch having played one under par for the morning round. Their long drives and accurate iron shots onto the greens proved too much for the Aldeburgh pair of Lottie Edmunds and Deborah Backhouse and they clinched the match on the 8th green to retain the trophy for the second consecutive year

 

 

 

 

CONGRATULATION TO OUR LADIES IN WINNING THE COUNTY CRANWORTH TROPHY

 

On September 24th the team of Anna Fairs, Rose Stollery (replacing Christine Pearce who is on holiday), Pam Evans, Alice Wan, Hilary Moss and Alicia Cook beat Brett Vale in the Cranworth finals.

 

In the morning foursomes we won 14 of the possible 15 points and with a quick succession of wins on the front 9 holes in the afternoon singles we soon reached the winning score of 23 points. This was a magnificent team performance, with experienced caddies in attendance, and a large group of Club supporters applauding every stroke.

The last time that the ladies reached the Cranworth finals was 1996 and we had not won it since 1966 so this was an incredible team performance.

The Cranworth Salver was presented by the County President, Sue Cook, and is proudly displayed in the Ladies trophy cabinet.

Heidi Baek, aged just 15, is a member of the England Girls team and represents her country in national and international events. The national, regional and local titles Heidi has already won in the last few years are far too numerous to mention here. She is the 2009 Suffolk Ladies strokeplay and matchplay champion and also reached the quarter finals of the England Ladies matchplay championship this year. Heidi set the Ladies course record at Ipswich Golf Club when she was 14 years old. There is no doubt that a great future lies ahead of her.

Rhodri Harston is 18 years old and is the Captain of the Welsh Boys team, having represented Wales in national and international competitions for the last two years. Rhodri has been the Welsh Under 16 champion and was our Club Champion at the age of 15. In 2008 he won the Suffolk Men's matchplay championship and also qualified for the finals of the Faldo Series in Brazil. He is our Junior Captain for 2009 and is an excellent role model for our younger Junior members.

Watch out for these names in the years to come!
