Mixed Open

The Racecourse welcomed visitors from six different golf clubs (Bishopswood, Bramshott Hill, Deanwood Park,  Donnington Grove, Hamptworth and Newbury & Crookham who are now managing the racecourse golf club) to play in their annual Mixed Open today. A good field of 44 players took part in this four-ball better-ball Stableford competition which was played in relatively calm but overcast conditions.

The winning team with an excellent score of 46pts were Paul Seymour (Donnington Grove) and Allison Holmes (Newbury Racecourse). Runners-up on 41pts were Jason Allum (NRGC) and Pam Best (Bishopswood) followed by Richard & Cilla Osgood (Newbury & Crookham) who just pipped John Butcher (NRGC) & Sian Soanes (NRGC) on countback after both teams returned 39pts.

The two nearest-the-pins were won by Judy Willson (NRGC) on the 6th hole and Lorraine Storey (Donnington Grove) on the 16th.  Two players shared the 2's competition; Dave Warwick (NRGC) on the 11th, and Paul Seymour (Donnington Grove) on the 14th.

Afterwards, the competitors enjoyed an excellent meal prepared by the Wessex. The raffle and 2's pool raised £310 for our Charity of the Day which was the DEC Philippines Typhoon Appeal.

Special thanks to Libby, Paul, Sian and the rest of the committee for their hard work in organising this competition and to all the players for supporting the event and a very worthwhile cause.
