There was a big reunion for lady members of The Ashburnham Championship Links Golf Club in Pembrey when the annual ladies dinner was held. "The dinner was attended by current members, but we'd also worked hard to get as many former members as possible to attend," said Ashburnham Ladies Captain Mrs Iris Jacob. "In the end, more than 50 people attended the dinner. We were delighted with the numbers as this year marks the centenary of ladies golf at 'The Ash'. "The dinner was a great success and it was great for current members and old members to get together and share their memories of playing this wonderful course." The next big event in the centenary year for the ladies will be 'An evening with Maureen Madill', a special dinner at Parc y Scarlets which will feature the popular golf commentator on Friday, October 12.

The ladies of Ashburnham Golf Club in Pembrey raised more than £400 through charity events last year. A cheque was presented to Heol Goffa School in Llanelli.

The dress code was very different for the ladies at the Ashburnham Championship Links Golf Club in Pembrey.  Ladies taking part in a special tournament to mark 100 years of women's golf at 'The Ash' arrived at the first tee in costumes from days gone by. Ladies captain Iris Jacob said: "It's just one of a number of ways we are marking the centenary of the formation of the ladies section at 'The Ash'. "The ladies section started in 1912, so we encouraged everyone playing in a special tournament to dress in 'period costume'. "Fair play, all the ladies made the effort and it made for a very colourful and entertaining event."  Photos: The lady golfers at The Ashburnham, with ladies captain Iris Jacob, centre, fawn skirt and brown top and tie and hat.
