Unfortunately she was beaten by second qualifier Annabel Bailey in their match on the Eden Course. However, well done to Emily for her great score and managing to qualify. 

August Tuesday Turn Up and Play Day

Twenty ladies took part in the Tuesday Turn Up and Play Day yesterday on the Wee Course. They played a "Mulligan Competition" which allowed them 2 Mulligans per 9 holes. For those who are not familiar with"Mulligans", it meant they were allowed to replay four bad shots during the round. Anything from a drive to a missed putt.

The winner was Anne Henry who shot a net 61 beating Angela Beale with a better inward half. Well done to all who played. Everyone enjoyed the competition as well as having the opportunity of playing the Wee Course.
