They may well have been the last pair out in the annual competition but they were definitely the first team home!  Fair Ball and Alan Morton won by 2 from Linda Tordoff Evans and debutant Allen Watts, with Donna Kenny and Martin Spurrin 3rd on countback.

The weather was glorious and the course was playing fast so avoiding the penal rough was the order of the day. Fair and Allan managed that to record an excellent score of net 68, helped by 2’s on 12 and 17. Diane Gough and Steve Sutcliffe along with Irene Gilman and Roger Schooling scored 2’s both on hole 12.

The bag draw meant that Donna, Martin, the Collins’, Di Dredge, Chris Stephens, Maria Smith and John Ball won their entry fee back. Even so, Fair holds the bragging rights in the Ball household.

Thanks to all those who took part in the competition which has been played since 2013 and was instigated by Chris Beecher when he was Club Captain. Carol and Chris have been staunch supporters of the Mixed Section as you will notice if you look at the Honours Boards.

Special thanks to Heather Morgan whose last act as Chairman of the Mixed Committee was to present the trophy. Heather has been the driving force behind the sections growth and success.
