Welcome to March Golf Club
Days Gone By:
When I first joined March Golf Club, we didn't have a clubhouse anywhere near as good as the current one. We were in a little wooden hut that served as our club house. We ran the place ourselves; the men ran the bar on a rota system while the ladies did all the catering. Saturday afternoons were the highlight of the week. You could get afternoon tea consisting of dainty sandwiches and home made cakes. In fact, as much as you could eat for 2s 6d. The catering was also carried out on a weekly rota. We had a great deal of fun in that old hut. The man behind the bar would call out "Time Gentlemen, please" and it really meant that we all needed another pint. It just shows how the times have changed; nothing free and easy anymore.
Cliff Jones, (Captain 2013)

The second round of the Mail on Sunday was played on 16th March. The team from March, Teresa Layton, Ros Humphries, Jo Rowlett, Sarah Oldham and Glenis Jones, played good matches but Ely City team won the day with 4 wins and a half.
The ladies took a team for a friendly match at Eagles Golf Course, they lost the match. But, for two of the ladies playing, it was their very first match and they played well and enjoyed the challenge. Everyone is suffering from a lack of weather and conditions to get out onto the course to warm up for the season.

Mail on Sunday - March Ladies v Lakeside
In a chilly but bright window of opportunity, the March Ladies team played the first round of the Mail on Sunday, against the ladies of Lakeside, on the 2nd February.
It was a friendly encounter and our team, Glenis, Anna, Viv, Jo and Ros played well and we won 3 ½ to 1 ½ . I know we would all like to congratulate them. None of the ladies had played much due to the weather, and they got the job done in a lively and brisk round, on a crisp wintry day.
