On the 28th October 2025 Leek Golf Club Ladies hosted our Halloween Howler Competition. The format ran as a team of 3 Stableford played over 15 holes. The weather was rather blustery but stayed dry, it certainly blew the cobwebs away!

15 teams took part in a well-received competition. Teams were mixed from home and away and its worth mentioning that many of our newer members of the club embraced the competition and took part for the first time. Well done ladies we are proud of you.

Some early bookings were taken for next year on Tuesday the 27^st October 2026.

A Halloween themed light meal followed the competition of with a choice of Red Pepper and Sweet Potato Soup or Chunky Autumn Vegetable, followed by some small cakes. Thanks to Paula and Tracey for the setting up and smooth running of the refreshments, and calming our nerves. A huge shout out for Gabe, our chef for the morning, who stood in at exceedingly short notice and produced the soups from scratch and kept everything flowing.

Pat and I would like to thank all the ladies who joined the Halloween Howler today.   The 45 ladies that took part all seemed to enjoy the course despite the very windy conditions. The results are as follows:

1st    74 points     Lorraine Dawson - Leek,  Gill Damjanovic - Leek, Debbie Smith - Newcastle.

2nd   62 points     Jennie Flower - Leek,  Ann Tweddle - Uttoxeter, Amanda Cowie - Denstone.  

3rd    59 points      Karen Griffiths - Leek, Sarah Bannigan - Westwood, Carolyn Hubble - Leek.

Nearest the pin on hole 9, Janet Hardern, Leek, with a creditable 95cms.

Many thanks also to Gill Armstrong for all her help, standing in for the afternoon, it was very much appreciated. Also, thanks to John Rogula for sorting the nearest the pin board and tape.

We are looking forward to seeing you all next year, Tuesday 27th October 2026
