Ladies' Section

Welcome to the Ladies Section at Avington.  My name is Brenda Yarrien, and I feel so fortunate to be able to once more take on the role of Lady Captain for 2024-2025.  Although to some this may seem an onerous responsibility, my role is made easier because I am blessed with two excellent Vice-Captains, Karina Lee and Fiona Gorman.  They both bring a fresh enthusiasm to Avington, they are very keen, dedicated golfers and alongside me, will give an unerring effort to encourage and support all who come to Avington. Additionally, the Ladies Section is blessed with a wonderful committee, an excellent office team with Yasmin Prowse and Robert Stent and a clubhouse staff who afford a warm welcome, patience and knowledge to answer any queries you may have.  As a team, we will learn and work together, we can't guarantee that we will get everything right, but rest assured we will listen and do our very best for all the Ladies in the club.

Why does Avington capture a special place in the hearts of many who come?  Well, apart from the welcome, the beautiful surroundings which engulf Avington are captivating and inspiring.  The course is immaculately maintained by a dedicated grounds staff, who work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our golf can be played in the best conditions possible.

The Ladies Section caters for a wide range of abilities, from the person sampling what golf has to offer, to the more experienced player.  Whilst key to playing at Avington is the enjoyment of golf, the congenial atmosphere creates a healthy balance between individual improvement and playing as part of a team in matches, whether at home or at other clubs.  There are internal competitions, including playing against the Seniors and Gents Sections, and a variety of really enjoyable mixed competitions.  We have our own Coffee Morning and visit other clubs as well for those more social events and enjoy Away Days and organised trips too.

Ladies meet every Tuesday and play competitions across a range of formats.  Competitions are listed on the Club Website (www.avington.co.uk) and need to be signed up for by noon on the Sunday before the competition is taking place.

Finally, Avington is the perfect place to start or continue your golfing journey, you will be afforded a welcome by any members and Karina, Fiona and I look forward to especially welcoming you.
