It was a clean sweep for the Ladies Section in the St George’s Day competition – held in bright sunshine on the Gainsborough Course.

Played in teams of four with the two best scores counting on par 5s, three on par 4s and all four on par 3s – the Stableford points were quickly stacked up.

Some great scoring resulted in the top three prizes claimed by teams each made up of four Ladies – that’s what you call Girl Power!!

In 1st place with 130 points was the team of Liz Kiddy, Janet Hodge, Janet Bettle and Jackie Frost.

In 2nd place with 126 points was the team of Ladies Captain Jill Pottle, Ladies Vice Captain Bev Ellender, Katie Clark and Bev Thompson.

In 3rd place with 123 points was the team of Mandy Byham, Roz Clements, Elaine Harris and Barby Jones.

The early starters were able to take advantage of English drinks and snacks provided by the Captain’s at the half way hut but, unfortunately, they didn’t leave any for the players at the back of the field. Sorry to all those that missed out!

Afterwards in the Sports Bar some people took advantage of the Chef’s ‘St George’s Day Special’ of sausage and mash served in a Yorkshire Pudding which was washed down with a pint of English ale in keeping with the theme of the day.
