The Valentine’s Mixed Crystal Putter turned into a real test of endurance, as a biting wind off the sea made multiple layers of clothing essential. With players bundled up like Michelin men, it was a challenge for everyone, well, almost everyone!
In contrast to December’s Christmas Charity event, where 40 points weren’t enough to secure a prize, Sunday’s conditions meant that even 30 points looked promising, until the final few pairs returned their scores. In the end, three teams posted 32 points:
4th Place – Rebecca Naden & Simon Jones (£15 each)
3rd Place – Julie Tordoff & Nigel Ayers (£20 each)
2nd Place – Angie Gottwaltz & Roger Schooling (£25 each)
But the standout performance of the day came from Trevayne Keohane & Simon Gumbley, who stormed to victory with a superb 37 points, earning £35 each.
Nearest the Pin (2’s Club)
Three pairs managed a ‘2’, each earning £8:
- Julie Tordoff & Nigel Ayers
- Angela & Jon Large
- Diane Gough & Ian Duke
Bag Draw Winners (£6 each)
- Melba Smith & John Richards
- Bev & Adrian Palmer
- Sarah Waring & Ian Williams
A huge thank you to everyone who braved the elements. Fingers crossed for better weather at the next mixed event, the Brooks Cup on Saturday 19 April.
