BLCGS held their Autumn meeting at Sandford Springs Golf Club, on 25 September 2025, playing the Lakes and the Park on a sunny and warm day. Competitors were asked to dress in Ryder Cup colours and everyone duly did so, all turning up in colours of blue and yellow. On arrival at registration a Ryder Cup quiz produced by Lady Captain Judith Castle was handed out to each team with the answers provided after play. Tables were also decorated with Ryder Cup Team Europe flags. 7 teams of 4 entered and played 2 competitions consecutively. One was a 4-ball better ball, two scores to count and the second was an individual stableford playing for the Wenham trophies, division 1 and 2. Thank you to Sarah Fowler and Lucie Robson who entered the scores after play. The course played well and the scores came in with the following winners:
Wenham Trophy Div 1 Lucie Robson, Bearwood Lakes
Wenham Trophy Div 2 Pam Thomason, Maidenhead
Gunnersen Salver Mary Lush, Sand Martins
Team event Winners Sarah Fowler, Ann McMahon, Lucie Robson, Linda Hargreaves

Thank you to Sandford Springs GC for hosting this event. The staff were very helpful throughout the day, serving coffee and Danish pastries on arrival and a 2-course meal after golf of salmon and pak choi followed by summer fruit crumble, which we all agreed was delicious.
