Ladies Golf at Porters Park Golf Club
Porters Park has a thriving ladies section of about 100
playing members about 60 of whom play regularly on a
Tuesday, with a Competition each week. Handicaps range from
3 – 36 and the age range is very varied.. We compete each
year in the Pearson against other clubs in Hertfordshire
with the winning team going forward to play against the
winners from Kent, Surrey and Middlesex, PPGC last won this
in 1997. On a lighter note, there are opportunities to play
surrounding courses with our friendly match fixtures.
As well as the golf we do have a
strong bridge section and league.
BUSINESS LADIES
We have approximately 22 business ladies who play their
competitions at the weekend and have the opportunity to play
cup competitions on a Tuesday if they so wish. At the end of
the season they compete for the Business Ladies Cup. They
are a friendly group of ladies who enjoy their golf.
SCRATCH TEAM
We have two teams in the league – A and B – not many
clubs have two teams. There are 5 ladies in each team,
playing off scratch, competing against other clubs in
Hertfordshire for the Ovaltine Cup.
LADIES ACADEMY
We have run an Academy for two years for ladies who have
not played golf before or those who would like to come back
to the game. They have group lessons with the Pro. David
Gleeson (beginners and intermediates). When David feels they
are competent enough to play the course he will recommend
them to join the Academy which entitles applicants to 12
rounds of 9 holes of golf after 5pm for a two month period.
There is then the option to join PPGC subject to the usual
interviews and play-ins.
