Ashton and Lea Golf Club
Captain's Day for Ladies
Ashton & Lea Golf Club proudly held its annual Captain’s Day for the Ladies on Saturday 24th May, hosted by the ever-welcoming Mr Captain Frank Leach. With grey skies looming early on, the weather turned out to be far more forgiving than forecast, allowing play to go ahead in mostly dry conditions—much to the relief of all 42 competitors.
The event marked the second major of the Ladies’ season and once again highlighted the growing strength and spirit of the women's section. With a full field taking part, the day was a celebration not just of individual golfing success, but of the thriving community within the club.
Mr Captain Frank Leach greeted each player at the first tee, offering words of encouragement and a cheerful smile, setting the tone for a day filled with warmth, laughter, and sporting spirit. His support for the ladies’ section throughout the season has been deeply appreciated by all, and this event was no exception.
After the final putt dropped, competitors gathered in the clubhouse for the prize presentation and refreshments, where the atmosphere was as lively as the competition on the course.

Captain Frank commented: “It was a real pleasure to host the Ladies’ Captain’s Day. The turnout was incredible, and the spirit out on the course was even better – I’m proud to see the women’s section going from strength to strength.”
A huge thank you goes to everyone who helped organise the day, to all the competitors who took part, and most importantly, to Captain Frank for being such a gracious and generous host.
Here’s to more great events this season – and continued success for our brilliant Ladies’ Section!
