What a day to play the final competition in the Vet's diary for 2018. Friday 19th October at Stratford Oaks Golf Club and the sun shone all day after a misty start with a little chill in the air for the early starters - the weather was just perfection. The course was presented beautifully, with lush fairways, well raked bunkers and fast running greens and it was soon evident that these were perfect playing conditions for our 3 Ball Alliance Stableford and scores should be very good -we will see! The Competition Organiser had arranged for a two Tee start which was excellent as after play there was a good atmosphere in the clubhouse. Overall some 81 competitors from 20 clubs within Warwickshire played today.
The scores recorded as teams came in saw some in the 70's, some in the 60's but few foresaw the winning score of 84 points, these recorded by the final group, as often is the case, the three ladies from Robin Hood GC, Lorraine BALDWIN, Sandra KERBY and Sue BUTLER. The closest score to them was 77 points, so how well did they do! The Prize Winners are listed below:
1st - 84 points - Lorraine BALDWIN, Sandra KERBY and Sue BUTLER (Robin Hood GC)
2nd - 77 points - Cath HOARE, Teresa WRIGHT and Susan DREW (Kenilworth GC)
3rd - 76 points - Cathy WISE, Elaine WEST and Sarah GRINDAL (The Welcome Hotel & GC and The Warwickshireshire GC) on countback from

At the Prize Presentation ladies were given a belated welcome by Lady Vice Captain Lesley KIENER who also said how delighted the club were to have been chosen for this important competition. Vet's President Liz WOOLF responded by thanking Startford Oaks for their hospitality and the many lady members who had helped on the day.
