Wendy Seymour took the main prize with a commendable 41 pts.

Ladies vs Seniors
The annual Ladies versus Seniors match took place today in glorious sunshine. Even though we only managed to field 6 players for each team, we had a great match with lots of laughter. Fiona prepared a sumptuous summer buffet for our return to the clubhouse which soon disappeared. The Seniors were then presented with a novelty golf ball each, this resulted in much hilarity!! The Ladies section won 2-1.
