What a wonderful day was had by Lady Captain Bridie and all the lady golfers of Castle Hume Golf Club, Lady Captain’s guests and her family. After a thoroughly wet August, the weather cleared to make way for a super day of golf which was reflected in some fabulous scores.

Thanks to the Sean Reilly and the greenkeeping staff as the course was perfect on the day.

40 Ladies played in the Lady Captain’s competition.

After golf, an array of traybakes and treats were on offer for the lady golfers and guests - there are some fantastic bakers in the club with a special mention to Sandra Armstrong’s amazing tee to green golf cake!

Thanks to Janette and her staff for the excellent service throughout the day and evening celebrations.

Also, thanks to Noel McMeel and staff for providing a wonderful buffet for Lady Captain and her guests - no one left hungry!
