Club Mixed Competition - Winners

Posted on 25 Sep '17 by Maria Rooney

After a thrilling final we now have our 2017 Club Mixed winners. In the first 18 Agnes and Damian were 4up after 11 and very much in control. With some shots coming up Fiona and Stephen had to make sure they put them to good use which they did,turning the game on its head and finding themselves 1up on the turn and a lead they shortly added to. Agnes and Damian plugging away did not let the lead run away from them. The game turned again when Agnes chipped in for a great 3 on the 27th reducing the lead back to 1 down and after 33 holes were now 2up. The 34th was halved and with the use of a shot on the 35th Fiona and Stephen were 1 down going to the 36th. With both men pitching the 36th -Stephen was a bit unfortunate with the backspin and it ended on the fringe. Damian got the backspin right, pitching to the back of the green and spinning to about 5 ft. Fiona steps up and in fine chipping form all day - chipped in and now the pressure turned to Agnes who rolled the putt confidently in for her birdie and the winning of the match. A great display of pitch and putt by all four participants. (thank you to the Lady Captain for this report)
