Only one stroke separated the top three places in the Mixed Brooker Foursomes, played on 24 May.
An entry of 128 golfers enjoyed beautiful weather at the Seniors 'Mixed Open AM.AM. held on the picturesque course at Ashbourne Golf Club. The format was teams of 4 with 2 players counting their Stableford scores on each hole. The course was in very good condition but with the long, dry weather there was a lot of run on the ball which also also emphasised the slopes on the course. Conditions gave advantages in distance but it also made the greens difficult to hold on the approach shots.
However, scoring was high with the clear Winners scoring 94, a picture of the Winners is shown of Mike Harwood, Neil Smedley, Colin Patilla & Brian Thornton. Runners up of an all Ladies Team with 92 were Karen Flanagan, Sally Benn, Helen Wallace & Karen Ray. The 3rd place team was Steve Gower, James Elrick, James Grundy & Garth Grundy from Burton Golf Club with 91.
There were some exceptionable shots discussed in the 19th, including Ruth Sinclair’s 25 yard chip in on the tricky 7th hole, which gave her a ‘4 pointer’. Karen Flanagan’s ‘4 pointer’ on the 18th hole certainly boosted the runners up team’s score.
All enjoyed an excellent game of golf in exceptionally good weather conditions, especially for early May.
