Graham and John were congratulated by Ian Pilcher, Manager SSAFA Golf, who we were pleased to welcome to our event. He told us a little about the work of SSAFA, the oldest national tri-service military charity dating from the late nineteenth century. It works to ensure that the needs of the Armed Forces, veterans and their families are met in an appropriate and timely way. Its work in Norfolk is carried out by 55 volunteers and in 2017 it supported 431 dependents, and in harmony with other military charities distributed £255,000. Golf days play a small part financially but importantly help to promote an understanding of SSAFA and its work. 21 golfers played in our competition and £105 was raised. Before he left Ian presented Pat Holman with a SSAFA ‘shield’ for display within the clubhouse. Qualifying Stableford SSAFA Our friendlies this month have been played in a variety of conditions.

The Thetford team consisted of Jess Dixon playing off 2 and Shelley Pleasance off 4 so they provided formidable opposition. Our ladies played superbly and thanks to an impressive chip in by Tracy from off the green on the 9th, they finished the first 9 all square. They managed to hold this score until the 15th when they went 1 down. Shelley the sunk a long putt on the 16th for a birdie which put them in a dormie 2 position. Unfazed, our ladies won the 17th so both teams teed off on 18th with Thetford leading by 1 hole. Unfortunately Tracy and Trish could not pull off a win on the last hole so the match went to Thetford. It was a delight to watch really high quality golf from these four ladies and to witness a match played in such excellent spirit. Congratulations to the Thetford ladies, but also to our Ryston Park team for representing the Club in such a positive and sportsmanlike manner.
