Distinctly autumnal conditions greeted competitors. For many this meant shedding shorts and donning sweaters for the first time in a long while. As the sun eventually broke through, orographic cloud built and a heavy shower further increased the challenge.

Thank you Ladies for a great turn out on Captains Day which was another sunny summer’s day with a fairly strong breeze along the way. It was a busy day, not only in trying to play golf but also in answering quiz questions whilst being Einstein in trying to manage the complex team scoring. The latter seemed beyond some teams which, I acknowledge, was demanding and a bit tough! I hope/think everyone enjoyed the day and again, thank you for your support.

Most importantly, Alison Chadwick’s recent improvement in form consolidated itself with an amazing net 61 to win by just the 6 shots from Sheena Harrington on 67. Alison’s performance has resulted in a 2.8 cut to take her down to 25 as the CSS remained at 68. Results…

Thanks….. & really well done Ali!

Ed Henery and Paul Brown came 4th and 5th with SSS breaking 66s. The overall balance of play kept CSS at SSS 67. Results…
