49 players took part in the Autumn Stableford and Club Team competiton at Spalding Golf Club, on Monday 24th September 2018. The weather was sunny and quite calm all day, a relief after the previous week. The course has generally recovered well after the hot summer but preferred lies were in place and some fairways are patchy. The greens were good but faster than usual which was reflected in the scores. The CSS went to 77 R/O.

Many thanks to thiose who helped on the day, especially the 4 helpers from Spalding (Jean White, Lady President, Beryl Clay, Maureen Orwell and Jenny Wilson) and to Andrea Stockdale for entering the competition onto the laptop and finalising the results.

The President’s Plate was won by the MVLGA Hon. Secretary, Mary Wetherly, with a magnificent 38 points, the first time she has played at Spalding.
