Jenny Starr has become the new lady captain of Gosfield Lake Golf Club.

Starr was joined by her vice-captain, Cathy Hatcher, at the traditional drive-in ceremony, with many of the ladies wearing clothes using the colours of the rainbow, as the Rainbow Trust is the new captain’s charity this year.

Meanwhile, the ladies at Gosfield Lake had a 4-1 win against Basildon in the Essex County Harris Bowl.

The team was Hatcher, Pam Stevens, Jo Craig, Carole Robinson and Margaret Byford and this win was followed by a 3-2 win over Stapleford Abbotts in the Essex County Silver Trophy.

That team featured Mel Ponsonby, Georgina Penketh, Sandra Parnell, Hilary Chase and Starr.
