Bridge Drive and Luncheon at Kibworth Golf Club

76 people played in the Bridge Drive at Kibworth Golf Club. The weather was wet resulting in the course being closed to golfers. Fortunately we were in the warm and dry watching out as the greens flooded.

Players stopped for lunch of chicken in a cream sauce served with chips and peas or a vegetable lasagna, followed by a raspberry swirl cheesecake. 

Winners on the day were:

1st Place Pat Keates a guest of the Leicestershire with 4670 points

2nd Place Glen Graham of Kirby Muxloe with 3460 points

3rd Place Janet Scarratt a guest of Hinckley with 2780 points

Helen Lynch was nearest to nought with -10 points

Congratulations were sent to all winners and we hope everyone enjoyed their day.

88 ladies played in the Autumn Meeting at Kilworth Springs on Monday 2nd September 2019.

Thanks are sent to the staff and members of Kilworth Springs for the use of their course and for their support on the day.

Our President, Glenda Yeldham, and all the committee send their thanks to everyone who played, for their support for this event of 2019 and we hope that you all enjoyed your day.
