13 Hole Easter Egg Scramble (Sun 14th April)
Winter League sponsored by The Moorings Bar & Restaurant
Our winter league kindly sponsored by The Moorings Bar and Restaurant over 10 holes has now finished Round 8, which is the final of this competition. The leader board has now changed dramatically and when the worst round was eliminated and scores compiled, the second and subsequent place positions took a total about turn. The Bluebells captained by Elaine held second position throughout the league and were knocked off their pedestal by the Violets with a one shot difference!! However, the Daisies captained by Mairead were in the lead from the start despite having a casualty midway through, such was the determination of the team members! Congrats to the winners and runner up teams, and a big thank you to the members who played multiple rounds to better their scores, the Ladies Club is delighted with the response the league created.
