Dunham Forest were the most successful club at the Ladies National tournament for the UK Jewish Golf Clubs and Societies at Dyrham Park Country Club in Barnet.

The Cheshire-based delegation claimed five cups, including the main national trophy for the Team Gross.

This year’s entrants featured Abridge, Bonnyton, Coombe Hill, Dyrham Park, Dunham Forest, Hartsbourne, Lee Park, Moor Allerton, Potters Bar, Shirley, Whitefield and a Combined Societies Team.
