The Voice of Spalding and South Holland

However, with the weather kind on the day some 84 members played the season opener.

- The annual Lady Captain versus Lady Presidents match took place in Spalding Golf Club’s ladies’ section last week – and it was closer than ever this year.
Some 38 ladies took part in the 13-hole greensomes format event, followed by a light lunch.
The final match decided the overall result, with the lady captain’s team – skippered by Hannah Thorold – just edging home by a 5.5-4.5 margin. Jean White led the President’s team.
