Ladies’ Section

Welcome

Ross on Wye G.C. has a thriving Ladies’ section with approx 130 ladies, including a number of social members who still meet regularly on a Tuesday for lunch.

The Committee headed by the Ladies’ Captain is responsible for the organisation of the Ladies' Section.This year our Lady Captain is Mrs. Jose Wilson. Jose joined Ross in 2004 after being a member in golf clubs in Belgium and the Czech Republic where she feels her golf was challenged by language as well as the course! She joined the Ladies Committee in 2006 and has been both County Representative and Press Secretary. 

The Lady Captain works very hard attending the large number of Social, Mixed and Junior events that the club runs each year, as well as the various committee meetings pertaining to each aspect of the club. 

Each year the Lady Captain organises a well- supported golf day both at Ross and an Away Day at another course. The emphasis on these days is fun!

Competitions

Tuesday is the Ladies main competition day. Predominantly qualifying competitions take place from March until October. These include EWGA and club medals in two divisions with a best gross, as well as competitions for various cups and trophies mainly handicapped, but some scratch cups too.

Social

There are many social events organised by the Ladies throughout the year including coffee mornings, bridge drives, occasional fashion shows, raffles and much more. These events provide funds for the Ladies Section and raise money for the Lady Captain's Charity. This year Jose is supporting St Michaels Hospice.

The Ladies organise social golf events against the other sections of the club and some ladies are very active in helping to organise the Junior Section.

We have a number of talented ladies who contribute on a daily basis to the decoration of the clubhouse with impressive displays of flowers. In addition these and other lady members help with the Christmas decorations setting the scene for the festive Christmas Lunch, which is one of the many well-supported social gatherings around the dining table. Other popular functions are the A,B and C team dinners and also the Annual Ladies Dinner.

After an incredibly busy year the Lady Captain, Jose, will hand over to her Vice Captain Pam Duke at the Ladies AGM in November 2010. The new Lady Captain's first golfing duty will be to "drive in".  This is done at the first ladies competition, which is usually held the following day. The Past Captain will then join the noteworthy section of Past Ladies Captains, with all that that entails.
