IT HAS been a great March for Otley Golf Club so far.

The big news is that their Ladies team have been confirmed as champions of the HU Winter Greensomes League.

In a post on Facebook yesterday, Otley Golf Club enthused: "A great end to the season and year for Lady Captain Helen (Grantham).

"Congratulations to all the ladies who played over the six monthly events. Well done ladies.

"Course looking great for competition yesterday, with daffodils now fully out to greet us in the pleasant spring sunshine."

Grantham is handing over her post as Lady Captain to Fran Sutton, and the new incumbent, along with Men's Captain Andy Holder and Junior Captain Ben Grimmitt, had their drive in and began their year of office on March 6.

The event was well attended by members, family and friends, who then enjoyed a light lunch in the clubhouse.
