Dear Members,
My name is Caroline Hall and on 1st April 2025, I will have the great honour of becoming the Ladies Captain at Nene Park Golf Club. I have been a member of the club for five years after taking up golf upon my retirement. Although the COVID years interrupted my initial forays into the sport, I still managed to fit in lessons with our excellent Lady Professional, Suzanne Dickens, and soon realised that this was the sport for me. It wasn’t long before the club helped me get my handicap, and I was able to join in with many social and competitive events, aided by the very welcoming and friendly ladies’ section.
I very much enjoy my golf, both social and competitive, and have been delighted to have represented the club and the county in many events. In addition, golf has provided me with a very enjoyable way to holiday, and I have travelled to many countries to enjoy a sociable game of golf in the sun!
This year, I have chosen to continue supporting the Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice as my Captain’s Charity. I believe it is important to support local charities, and I can think of no other local charity more deserving than Sue Ryder for the services they provide. Sue Ryder is there to ensure that everyone approaching the end of their life or living with grief can access the support they need. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to coping and the help we need, but with their support, no one has to face dying or grief alone.
Nene Park Golf Club is very fortunate to have two excellent golf courses, each offering different challenges, and I enjoy playing on both. My aim this year is to ensure that as many ladies as possible feel able to engage in the numerous playing opportunities offered and to encourage new members by ensuring a smooth transition into the club.
I look forward to seeing you out on the course.
Caroline Hall
Ladies Captain (2025)
