In the Best Lady competition, Francis was in 3rd place with 34 Stableford points, Geraldine took 2nd place with 35 points, and the Winner of the Lady Captains Cup was Will – also with 35 points but a better back 9. Congratulations Will !

And in the Captains Trophy, John Reddy was in 3rd place with 35 points, 2nd place went to Brian with 36 points, and the Captains Trophy winner, with a very good score of 40 points was Henk. Congratulations to Henk

After the prize giving we all sat down to some Tapas style food – with the compliments of the club – and a few drinks. Everyone seemed to agree that it was an enjoyable day and a good social gathering.

Thanks to everyone who participated !
