Parklands Mixed Open

The Mixed Open took place last Bank Holiday Monday and 30 pairs competed for a good prize fund on a day when the sun shone and the course was in superb condition. There was some competitive golf played on the day .... Candy and I were defending champions and despite a good performance (bar the 16th) we had 41 points which gave us 3rd position. We were pipped for 2nd on a count back by Alyssa Balding, recently returned from her year in America, and Neil Henderson playing off +2. A superb, polished round of golf by this pairing, but the winners won by a point. The pairing of Neil Armstrong and Shelley Webb returned 42 points. A great performance. Shelley had a wonderful weekend all round winning the Ladies Comp on the Saturday as well. Watch this space for news of her handicap tumbling ....Mac Murphy and Maureen Jenkins were 4th with 40 points and 5th were Dave Pringle and Terri Hallows .... Well done to all the competitors and prize winners.Thanks also to Kath Morpeth who organised the event and ensured the day went so smoothly. We also raised £64 from the raffle ... thanks to all who bought tickets on the day.
