Lady golfers celebrate 100 years at The Ash

The dress code was very different for the ladies at the Ashburnham Championship Links Golf Club in Pembrey.

Ladies taking part in a special tournament to mark 100 years of women’s golf at ‘The Ash’ arrived at the first tee in costumes from days gone by.

Ladies captain Iris Jacob said: “It’s just one of a number of ways we are marking the centenary of the formation of the ladies section at ‘The Ash’.

“The ladies section started in 1912, so we encouraged everyone playing in a special tournament to dress in ‘period costume’.

“Fair play, all the ladies made the effort and it made for a very colourful and entertaining event.”

Meanwhile, later this year at ‘The Ash’ . . .

An evening with Maureen Madill, the BBC golf commentator, is being planned at the Ashburnham Golf Club.
The event will form part of the Ladies Centenary Dinner at ‘The Ash’ on Friday, October 12 (7 for 7.30pm).
There will be canapes on arrival, following by a four course dinner, coffee and mints.
