Ladies just miss Jack Gaydon double
Maureen Elmes and Eileen Ball, winners of the Jack Gaydon Trophy last year (see 2017 report below), narrowly missed defending their title on Sunday, August 5.
The random draw resulted in the two ladies playing together for a second successive year. And when they had scored nine shots to two at the half way stage of the 16-end four-wood pairs competition, it looked as though they might repeat their 2017 victory.
However, in the final reckoning, Maureen and Eileen were pipped at the post by Roger Banfield and Roger Joslin, who recorded a net plus eight shots to their plus six.
Ten members took part in this year’s one-day competition, with Ted Mitchell kindly withdrawing from the line-up when John Lee pulled out through injury. We wish John well. Gerrard
