My playing partners were Chris Dekker and Annie Brink and we had some good highlights, the best of which was a long gobbler putt from Chris. My highlight was three 3 pointers in a row and having 20 points at the turn. I do not want to discuss the back nine!

after the 4 hole play off.

We had a lovely day for the playoff of the 2016 Mixed Foursomes Championship.

The Match was played in great spirit and followed by a small gallery of members who had come to give  our players some encouragement and support.

Steve and Di won decisively over the 4 holes played and are worthy winners of the Mixed Foursomes Champions title.  Kerry and Norma put in a good effort but the pars that they needed to keep in touch with Steve and Di did not happen this time.  Non the less if was great to watch how the good golfers do it and congratulations go to all of the players today for being such a good example to all of us.

CONGRATULATION STEVE AND DI THOMLINSON - WINNERS OF THE 2016 FOURSOMES CHAMPIONSHIP!
