The format for the competition was individual stableford with the top three players being awarded a prize for their efforts. Adding further incentives for accuracy were prizes for best front nine and best back nine scores, as well as a ‘nearest to the pin in two shots’ on the 16th hole.
After a shotgun start, Claudia Bailey played a terrific round and was the outright winner with an impressive accumulation of 40 points. Second place was eventually decided on the countback of the last nine holes with Sarah Broughton-Pipkin just shading the result from Judy Manktelow, who finished third.
Audrey Goodhew was a player in fantastic form, taking the awards for best back nine with 20 points, as well as getting nearest to the 16th in two shots. Moira Siddons claimed the prize for best front nine with 18 points.
As always, the event was a highly social occasion and the players are already looking forward to next year’s event.
