2023 President's Summer Meeting

It was a very special and personal privilege for me to welcome 54 ladies from Buckinghamshire’s Golf Clubs to my Golf Club, Oakland Park to compete in the County’s age-old 2023 President’s Summer Meeting and a very memorable day for me in my final days as President of Bucks County Ladies Golf Association.

The day could not have been more perfect; the friendly but competitive matches were played under blue skies and light fluffy clouds with Tracey Pennel, Maggie Todhunter & Yasmin Sarin (The Lambourne GC) winning with 83 points.

My President’s Summer Meeting however, could not go by without my genuine gratitude to all who contributed so willingly and gave their generous support. Fellow golfers who couldn’t do enough to make the day so successful.

The Senior Men’s Captain, Tim Dauncy and his fellow Seniors’ contribution was everywhere on the Course – they acted as ‘lolly-pop men’ (carrying large notices with tee numbers on long sticks for the ladies to follow) escorting the ladies to their various tees. They managed the half-way hut and, along with the Oakland Ladies, provided many of the delicious cakes and savouries; the Senior Vice Captain’s lemon drizzle cake was a great favourite… Stuart, thank you?

On entering the Club House for lunch, the ladies were greeted by the Oakland ladies with a glass of Cava followed by an appetising buffet lunch; it goes without saying that chat in this lovely atmosphere went on long into the afternoon – my thanks go to the catering staff. I will pass-on to the Club the several laudatory comments I have received from the ladies who so much enjoyed their day. Clearly, the 2023 President’s Summer Meeting will be a memorable day in the annals of many years of Presidents’ Summer Meetings and I want to personally thank May Pace our Ladies Captain, my fellow Club Members, Club staff and Ground staff for their unstinting effort and contribution to make the day such fun for the 54 ladies competing and so enjoying the day at my Club.

I want also to thank my fellow County Committee Member Jackie Maher, who did an incredible job running the Competition – thank you for your help Jackie. And, finally, my very happy years in office have been supported and sustained by my husband David who, on the day, along with Sally Harborne, set up and sold the many raffle tickets on the Day.

Once again, Oakland Club Golf Club, many, many thanks on behalf of all our guests but especially thank you for a Day which has rounded off my Presidency perfectly.
