Sunday - Mixed Foursomes Championships Sunday saw the annual Mixed Foursomes being played out. Unfortunately the numbers were down with only 7 pairs taking part. At least the weather was kind & the greens in tip top shape. The mother/son combo of Evelyn & Paul Blanch chalked up yet another title. Their score of 126 gross (27 holes) would have been good enough to beat a field of 100 players. Congratulations Ev & Paul - I'm sure there's more to come. Runners up in the gross were Mr & Mrs Daylight & Elaine & William Murray followed the Daylights closely with 145 off the beater. In the nett we saw the enduring team of Valerie Smith & Lindsay Ribbons take out the prize with a score of 119. They were a few shots better than Mirelle Fraser & Douglas Blanch on 122 3/4 NTP (4th/13th) Mens : William Murray. Ladies : N.
