The squad goes back to school, with the first session of coaching taking place at Carlisle Golf Club on Sunday, 18th January, 2009 with a lecture and workshop by Dr. John Pates, Sports Psychologist on the European Tour assisted by Graeme Lisle, Head Professional, Carlisle Golf Club.

The squad's coaching given by Graeme Lisle, Professional at Carlisle Golf Club is well under way in preparation for match week at Heswall.  A total of 5 full day sessions was organised during  the period Jan - April which was made possible through monies raised from local sponsorship.  Handicap reductions are already being seen, which bodes well for the high expectations for the Cumbria Team this year. 



The first fixture of the season took place at Carlisle Golf Club on Sunday 22nd March, 2009 which is an annual match against the Men's Team.  Although the Ladies succumbed again to a very strong Men's team, the experience proved to be invaluable with the first look at pairings for match week. 

This was closely followed in April by the friendly match against Northumberland at Appleby Golf Club.  The course was in very good condition for the time of year, and the greens exceptional.  The friendliness and hospitality of the club were given special mention by the Northumberland County Captain, even though their day was marred by a Cumbria victory. 

Sunday 26th April saw the Ladies playing a match against the County Vets at Seascale.  This match is always closely rivalled with past members of the County Team now playing for the Vets, but always played in very goods spirits.  The results of the pre-season coaching were beginning to be displayed and proved too much for the Vets and the Ladies had their second victory.  Special mention goes to Nicola Tebbutt who had a hole in one on the 10th.
Many thanks to Seascale Golf Club for giving the County courtesy of the course.

Annual match County Ladies -v- County Seniors
Ulverston Golf Club - 4th May, 2009
The annual match against the County Seniors took place at Ulverston Golf Club on Monday, 4th May. The day started with the morning foursomes, and although the match began in dry, but  very windy conditions, the weather soon worsened with driving rain.  Despite the extreme conditions, both teams displayed good golfing skills, with the Seniors  having the upper hand before lunch with a 4 - 2 lead. A decision was made to restrict the afternoon singles to only 10 holes as the weather worsened.  The ladies took 6 of the singles, but it was not enough to make up the shortfall from the morning and the match ended 10 - 8 to the County Seniors.
