Sixteen pairs competed in Friday’s Greensomes competition in cold, but sunny conditions. Everyone seemed to enjoy the relaxed format. The winners, with a score of 72, were Claire Bidwell and Moira Stewart; runners up were Noreen Fordyce and Sue Waddell with 73. Below is Ladies Captain Gill presenting the winners with golf balls.
Next Friday we have another pairs competition, this time a Pinehurst and, for those of you (myself included) who are unfamiliar with this format, an explanation follows:
Both players tee off, then each player plays their partner’s ball for the next shot. Then you select which ball to continue playing with and play alternative shots with that ball until the ball is holed (the person whose ball is not selected playing the first shot).
