Many congratulations to 'our Lucy' (ACS) on becoming Ladies Champion at Sandown & Shanklin over this Monday and Tuesday of intense golf.
This is the second time Lucy has won this title, the first being in 2013.
Lucy, representing both NGC and S&S, qualified in 3rd place, then beat Joanne Wright 2&1 in the quarter final. Then played Sammi Keen in the Semi final and won on the 19th with a birdie!!
The final was even more tense as Lucy played Dawn Hodge and won on the 20th with a 8ft putt !!!
Lucy's beaten semi-finalist, Sammi, kindly caddied for the final, a lovely gesture.
Well done Lucy from all of us at NGC.
The Clubs Chairman , Andy Dudley, finally was able to catch and present the elusive Alan with a bottle of Jameson and an engraved decanter as a big thank you for his service in recent years as our Membership Secretary.
Alan took great care and time in ensuring you had all rejoined etc and above all you were 'paying' the correct subscriptions!!

Newport (IW) Golf Club, is a challenging golf course for a rewarding day of golf at Newport on the IOW.
ABOUT US - Newport Golf Course is set out to make you think about every shot and the reward is that whatever your handicap, you will want to play the course again and again. Your start on the first hole gives you a taste of what is to come, keep it to the left of the fairway and consult your card for the rest of the round!
We believe we have in our 5th followed by the 6th one of the best two back to back holes in Golf.
The fact that it is only a nine hole course should not cloud your thoughts, as the back 9 tee arrangement on some of the holes gives you further challenges and you get another opportunity to have a 'crack' at some of the others again.
After your game you will be able to retire to the Clubhouse for a pint or a nice snack/meal from our Club House Cafe which will allow you to reflect on a day well spent and for once a good walk not spoiled, as everyone who plays Newport (IW) Golf Club's course gets something out of it.
