On 13 February representatives from Les Mielles, St Clement's & Les Ormes Ladies Golf Clubs attended the 100th anniversary celebratory dinner and awards at the Midland Manchester Hotel where it all began over a century ago.
The Jersey Ladies Development Group that included the three ladies clubs were nominated in the Women and Girls' Trailblazer category for the initiative they undertook during 2023 to encourage new and returning women to golf. A series of events was held with all 3 clubs that ultimately lead to a number of ladies joining the clubs and boosting women's membership.
The event was hosted by former golf star and Sky Sports presenter Nick Dougherty and the event was attended by over 450 people and recognised a number of people and initiatives from across the country.
Following a review by the 46 judges from the golf industry and golf media the Jersey Ladies Golf Development were awarded the prize for their nominated category beating a number of nominations from across the UK. The judges felt that such a collaborative effort was remarkable and showed how much can be achieved when clubs work together on one objective.
All the clubs are proud of what they have achieved and continue to encourage as many women and girl's into the sport that is both physically and mentally beneficial.
