Glen Gorse's Moira Page has surely achieved a unique double by not only winning the Ladies' Club Championship for a record 15th time, but also setting a new course record for the ladies' course at the Club with her excellent two under par 71 in the afternoon round of this year's 36 Hole Ladies' Club Championship. 

Moira, a former assistant in the Pro Shop at the Club, and who was the L&RLCGA Captain for 2000-01, first won the Championship in 1987 at the age of 17, and has had a straight run of victories since 2004.  She now holds the course records for both the "old" course, which she took with a 70 on Lady Captains' Day in 1992, and the "new" course, which was lengthened to 5682 yards in 1994, resulting in an increase of the SSS to match the Par of 73.  This new course record overtakes former member Gerry Bray's 72 in 1997; (Gerry also won the Ladies' Club Championship in 1995, 1998 and 1999), and Moira is "delighted to have got the course record back after such a long time". 

These most recent results, and her scores in qualifying competitions in early June this year at Woodhall Spa, when Moira played 2 over the SSS on the Bracken Course and 4 under the SSS on the very difficult championship Hotchkin Course, have reduced her handicap to 0.5.  Moira's greatest golf aim now is to get down to scratch.  

For those interested in "stats", Moira's record setting round of 71 included 3 bogeys, 7 pars, 6 birdies, and 1 eagle - on the Par 5 421 yard 13th; the only blot being a triple bogey 7 at the stroke index 1 Par 4 6th hole.  Needless to say the 6th is now not her favourite!
