Easter was HOT HOT HOT!!

Two trophies were decided over the Easter bank holidays, as well as the annual Captain-Vice Captain match that was played on the Saturday

The Freshwater Lifeboat Trophy was played on Good Friday and the winning pair was Liz Morris and Di Clark. Their winning score of 49 points was 3 points clear of 2nd place pair Sammi Keen & Kevin Garrett, with the 3rd place pairing of Steven Cooke and James Ebdon one further back on 46

Ernies Two Ball Scramble on Easter Monday was a much tighter affair with 4th place only finishing 0.75 of a shot behind the winners. Fourth were Miles Oldershaw and Jim Whitehead with 61.75. Third place on 61.5 was the pairing of Sammi Keen and Di Clark with 61.5. Kevin Garrett and Kevin McArthur were 2nd on 61.25. The winners on 61 were Nat Riddett and Conor White, with Conor holing a crucial putt on the last to clinch victory.

Both trophies were presented on Easter Monday and this was followed by the Easter Raffle being drawn. There is a list of winners in the Clubhouse and if you are one of the lucky ones but have not yet collected your prize then please ask at the bar.

On Thursday the Ladies played the Centenary Foursomes Qualifier. This was an even closer result than Ernies Two Ball, with the top 3 pairs all having the same score of 37 points. The winners on count back were Sue Keen & Maureen Couse with Di Clark and Liz Morris in 2nd place and 3rd going to Pat Long & Jan Smith.

The Captains team ran out comfortable winners against the Vice Captains. There were some very good scores returned with best of them being 49 points by Bill Hinchen & John Sexton. The Captain is confident that this win is going to set the tone for the season.
