Successful Lady Captain’s Day at Dunmurry GC

Despite the early wet start the weather improved and by mid morning the clouds dispersed, the sun shone and the Ice Cream Cart started dispensing lovely flavoured cones to the ladies.

There was a good turnout of ladies and visitors competing for a glorious array of prizes, with watches as the main prize and silver and glass forming the theme for the remainder of prizes.

The Lady Captain was assisted by her friends and the catering staff provided food throughout the day.

The evening celebrations got off to a brilliant start with a piper on hand to pipe the ladies in to the cocktail reception which was followed by a buffet meal.

Before the prize presentation Lady Captain thanked all the participants who played and and the many people who contributed to the success of her special day, including committee, Margaret Mark (Hon Sec), Margaret Kennedy and the Handicap Committee, Anne Walby and her team of flower arrangers, the kitchen and bar staff as well as the office staff.
