Our Minor Foursomes team under the management of Miriam took on Williamstown at home on Sat in ferociously windy but dry conditions. Our ladies played very steady golf throughout with the first pairing finishing 5/4 and second pairing finishing 4/3. The last pairing finished all square which resulted in a playoff to the 20th hole and finally clinching a win for the home team!
