Ladies Section

Ladies Section

My name is Janice Brooks and it is my privilege to be Ladies’ Captain for 2019.  I would like to wish you a warm welcome to the Ladies’ Section of Haywards Heath Golf Club. 

Our section comprises some 170 members and is a thriving, sociable and friendly group.  We meet every Tuesday throughout the year and participate in both competitive and fun competitions, details of which can be found in the “Competitions” section of this website.

The Club has excellent teaching facilities and an Academy for people just taking up the sport.  Many of our ladies have come through the Academy and are now enjoying playing in all the competitions alongside other members.  Our Professionals also hold group lessons for the ladies throughout the year and everyone is welcome, whether a member or not.  Individual lessons are also available, as well as an excellent Putt Lab.  Practice facilities include a putting green, driving range, chipping green and an excellent practice/teaching area.

Qualifying monthly medals are held from March to October and Stableford competitions are played throughout the year.  Ladies are also welcome to play in the regular weekend AC (all categories) competitions, signing up and paying for these in the Pro Shop.

Regular fun competitions are organised throughout the year including Betterball, Foursomes and Greensomes, as well as Texas Scrambles and other formats.

The Ladies’ Section is actively involved in Division I, II, III and IV County competitions.  We also play in friendly matches and organise exchange days with other clubs across the county. 

There are lots of opportunities for participating in Mixed Golf, both within the Club and against other clubs in the region.  We enter teams in prestigious National and County events, such as the Kathleen Rider Cup, The President’s Cup, Daily Mail Foursomes and more.

New members are always made very welcome and quickly integrate into the Club.  Finding playing partners is easy - just go online and add your name to the sign-up sheet and you can be sure someone will add their name to yours.

The Ladies’ Section is proud of its active social programme, which brings the members together for a wide variety of activities: Ladies’ Coffee Morning, Fashion Shows, Bridge, The Lady Captain’s Bridge Drive, several dinners during the year and a full programme of events organised by the Entertainment Committee. 

  My Vice Captain is Aine McIlvenna, and together with our hard working committee I am looking forward to a year of ladies golfing success and social activities.  Please get in touch if you have any queries 07713 580359 or contact our Club Manager, Helene Issom 01444 414457. 

I trust that you will have a most enjoyable year, I certainly intend to.
