GOLF RESULTS
7-Day – On Sunday we played pairs Texas Scramble as a Stableford competition. A great fun format. Some magnificent scores – it was an amazing 45 points that won the day. Lesley Bonser and her husband Mike scored 41 to scoop 9th place

Tuesday – Friendly Foursomes was the format last week. A fast game for cold weather. The winners with a score of 75.5 were Katy Cook and Lin Goodey. And just half a shot behind, in 2nd place with 76, were Brigid Kerr and Susanna Chan. Well done – good scores

Thursday – Torrential rain all day Wednesday and overnight meant the front 9 holes were closed. Therefore our first Medal Qualifier of 2016 had to be cancelled.

InterClub Matches
Mail on Sunday match. We had some very close scores, but East Herts won 4 games to our 1. Commiserations to our team, who all played valiantly – Kathy Dale, Sarah, Lauren, Virginia and Marica. Unfortunately we are now knocked out of the competition …. until next year!

Our Pearson Team match at Bishops Stortford was postponed because of wet weather and 9 temporary greens. Rescheduled for 21st April
