CAPTAIN’S ROLE FOR JENNY

SALE Golf Club former lady captain Jenny Page is the captain of the Manchester and District Society of Past Lady Captains for 2023.

“I was lady captain of Davyhulme Park in 2014 and one of the highlights was winning the Balfour and Houldsworth GS Lancashire Cup with my husband Derrick in 2011,” she said.

“I joined Sale in 2016 and enjoyed doing the job as match secretary and playing in the Sale team who won the MDLGA Bell Cup in 2018,” added Jenny, who holed the winning putt, which she says was her best achievement in golf.

“I also won the Business Ladies Trophies in the same year and I was Sale lady captain in 2019 when it was a pleasure to have my dad over from the West Indies as it was not too long since I had lost my mum.”

Sale will host the finals day for the MDSPLC final on August 4 following the qualifying competitions at Blackley on June 19 and Davenport on July 14. Werneth will host a ninehole competition on July 3.

The season finishes with the annual luncheon at Lancashire Cricket club on October 11.

The MDSPLC was formed in 1959 when two clubs are asked to host the competitions one from the north and one from the south.

The winners from each area go on to play the final at the captains’ club and the runners-up go as well.

Choosing the captain each year alternates north and south - a club is chosen and the captain elect writes to the secretary of the club and asks them to nominate a past captain to be put forward as captain elect.

The inaugural meeting of the society was held at Houldsworth Hall Golf Club in 1959. The subscription was set at three shillings and six.

After only two committee meetings there were 555 members. The first competition was a foursomes at Davyhulme Park in 1960.

The first annual luncheon was held in the Edinburgh Suite at Belle Vue in 1960 when tickets were £1 each.

The first AGM was at Houldsworth Hall in 1961. There are currently 65 clubs in the society with more than 550 members.
