The Ladies made their way to the first tee anticipating an enjoyable day of golf. During play the camaraderie was palpable. Tips were shared, good & bad shots were cheered and there was laughter at occasional mishits. The weather was extremely kind, the course beautiful & in good condition. Each hole offered a new challenge. All was enhanced by a red kite circling over the first fairway and deer running in the field behind the third.
The afternoon was highly enjoyable and as we approached the 18th hole, there was a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. A fitting end to a day of beautiful scenery, blue skies and great company.

7th July 2024 – Ladies Open
On the 7th of July 2024 the Ladies‘ section at New Mills Golf Club held yet another very successful Open Day. The event, as usual, was very well supported with ladies from a number of golf clubs from Cheshire, Lancashire and of course, Derbyshire. In total 24 teams of four participated. Unfortunately, the day was quite grey and overcast and by the 9.00 start, the rain appeared. The first few groups of Ladies started the game in what could be described as quite wet and challenging conditions. However, by 10:30 the rain had moved on and the vast majority played under slightly grey and cool conditions which did not stop them enjoying themselves. In particular they enjoyed the warm welcome in the halfway house with pots of tea and a variety of cakes being served.
The winning team achieved a magnificent score of 93 points. This team was made up of three Ladies from Glossop and one Lady from Ashton; the second prize which also achieved an excellent score of 88 were a team of 3 Ladies from Westwood and one Lady from Stafford. It is great to see so many golfers from different clubs rising to the challenge of New Mills Golf Club.
The success of the day was due to the many helpers that made themselves available, those in reception, those at the halfway house and of course, those ball spotting. The course was in lovely condition with visitors expressing their appreciation of the course.
The staff who worked in the clubhouse responded to the large number of Ladies by supplying them with bacon butties and later with meals once they had completed their rounds of golf. Also once again we were very pleased to welcome the clothing company which fetched a wonderful selection of clothes.

Lady President’s Day June 11th 2023
What a day to remember! It started so well – hot, sunny (perhaps too hot) but a change was in the air and it wasn’t long after everyone had gone out that the clouds descended, thunder was heard and lightning seen. The klaxon sounded and everyone returned to the Clubhouse.

Ladies Open 2022
Another full tee sheet for the Open. However, it would never happen without the army of volunteers helping to park cars, meet and greet, bake cakes and run the half way house and all backed by the Green keepers providing a course in brilliant condition, and a Pro shop rescuing a shoeless lady!
The visitors, without exception, were full of praise for the course and the welcome given by everyone. They enjoyed the food in the clubhouse ( and I am quite sure the odd glass of wine!).
I have no doubt that the clothing co. who always try to attend, were part of the attraction, as they have an excellent choice of clothing at reasonable prices. It was a veritable fashion parade!
The raffle table is always popular, with the ladies providing a varied selection of offerings.
It was so nice to see all the familiar faces returning to the course. It almost felt as if the last 2 years had been not forgotten, but put to rest.

E. Cantello (Disley) and J. Dootson (Hazel Grove0 with 94 points

Mr Captain’s Day
Finally after three cancellations due to weather Mr. Captain’s Day to the Ladies at last went ahead!
The weather was good, albeit a bit windy, but a great day was had by all.
Winner of the comp was Margaret Palmer with Mo Harrison as runner up. The photos below show both ladies being presented with their prizes by Mr. Captain.
The ladies would like to thank Mr Captain for the strawberries and Pimms at half way house and for the lovely buffet he provided after the presentation.
In Memory of Ray Flowers
Sadly, earlier this year Ray Flowers, who had been a member of the club for over 30 years and was, as such, a Life Member passed way. As a tribute his wife Joan and the Ladies Section of the club commissioned new red and blue tee markers which are now in position on the course.
Our thoughts go to Joan and her family. Ray was an extremely well liked member of our club and in every respect ‘a true gentleman’.
