The weather has been so unkind to us this year. The original Friday evening nearest the longest day (which traditionally when this mixed draw is played), the rain poured down.
The first available next Friday, still when the days were long, fell on the same day as the ladies were playing their Team Championship knockout against Swansea Bay. So the competition moved to Saturday 6th July. This time dry weather and sunshine, but a very strong cold wind, so not easy conditions.
Sam was the founder member of the Friday evening mixed foursomes in the 1970’s, so the same format was chosen in that partners are drawn. Thank you to Jerry for doing the computer draw.
Sadly, it was not a good weekend for getting a good turnout as there were many other things on, but a huge thank you to those that did support. No twos were recorded, which is not surprising given the strength of the wind. But Ann Collins was grateful for the following wind as she took a provisional off the Rock on the 18th, hitting over 175 yards!
Due to the low level of entries only one pair won their entry fee back in the Bag Draw (kindly done by Curtis), and that was Paul Northam and Trevayne Keohane. But the winners of the trophy for 2024 were Martin Spurin and Heather Morgan.
Our next Mixed event is on Sunday 14th July, the Usher Cup. Enter now on Masterscoreboard. Any men wanting to have a go at mixed competitions but have no partner please tell the Pro Shop and a partner will be found.
