We had a beautiful weather day for our 2017 Mixed Foursomes Championships.

Our playing partners were Sam Knox, Di Beechey, Neville Walker and Jan Walker and we enjoyed the beautiful weather and good company - pity about some of the golf - our best highlight being Sam & Di winning the 9 holes Nett.

The Golf Event of the day was the 2017 Mixed Foursomes Championships (better known to us as the Fearsome Championships).

We had 42 starters.

NO HANDICAPPING TODAY!

For those of you who are a bit confused about the prize allocations I advise that in this event players cannot receive more than one prize.  The prizes are allocated by the value of the prize and thereafter descend down the line of prize winners until all prizes are allocated.

HIGHLIGHTS AND LOW LIGHTS  as reported to me: Fran & Owen James had 12 shots on the 18th, parred the 7th and Fran won nearest the pin on the 5th hole; Carolyn & Ray Buttsworth played steady golf but Carolyn did not hit the middle of her driver once; Georgina Lamb had a gobbler on the 2nd and Grahame Muller played very steady golf; Duncan Dyer has had two games of Mixed Foursomes (The first and the last) however they had no arguments and scored two birdies; Wally & Fay Bailey had grounds for arguments but managed to avoid any; George Foster played 27 holes without any arguments, had an 11 on the 10th and parred the 14th; Keith Potter  and Gail Williams walked the course and managed to finish without losing a ball or having double figures; Sam Knox and Di Beechey had 5 pars and were putting for birdies; Jan & Peter Martin parred the first hole; Col & Lauren Matterson parred the 8th and the 9th with Col hitting off the Ladies Tee on one occasion; Jan Walker on the 6th had to hit off the Men's Tee; Ron & Lynn Puiatti had their first par on the 3rd hole which created much cheering and merriment; Christine & Ross Drakeford played well with Ross hitting out of the bunker on the 7th to reach the front of the green and on the 6th hit from the level of the dam to the green;  Brett Margin & Marianne Lanham on the second last hole - Brett hit the pin on his drive at the 8th unfortunately they missed the putt on the way back; Nigel and Sheena Asken - Sheena sank a miracle putt on the 6th for a 4; Graeme Wright & Debbie Flanigan parred the last hole - their low light was Graeme hitting a double chip shot; Kevin O'Brien & Lorraine Bignall birdied the 2nd, had a nett 67 after 18 holes; Steve & Annette Cross had a 9 on the 18th and a 9 on the 13th but parred the 8th hole twice and had no double figures; Steve and Di Thomlinson had 91 off the stick including two birdies; Terry and Sandra Coyle - Terry did some good putting but a pity about Sandra's putting;
