Knockouts!

Knockouts!

Pairs

Tuesday was the day of the Ladies Pairs knockout final between Fran and Hils and Lyn and Sue.


This was such a close fought contest... going to the final hole!

Hils and Fran were ahead for most of the round but Lyn and Sue fought back and took the lead into the 17th.

Fran and Hils won that hole so back to all square with the final hole to play... there had been some terrific putting all the way round and Lyn was faced with a difficult, long putt on the 18th to take the match to extra holes but the putt just missed.

Hard luck to Lyn and Sue and many congratulations to Fran and Hils - a great win, particularly when they were giving 11 shots!

Winners!

Singles Knockout Final

A second amazing battle took place on Sunday between Frieda and Lyn - the singles final, with just one shot being given this time!

It had been due to take place on Friday but squally wind and rain put paid to that and it was moved to the Sunday because the Presidents' Cups had been postponed due to a Covid outbreak among the seniors who had gone to France.


It was (unfortunately) very windy again but at least there was no rain!

What a close match this was, the lead changed over and over again - at least 10 times! And the match could have gone either way!

Once more we reached the 18th green with Lyn needing a putt to take the match to extra holes...and this time it went down!

A super putt...and on we went to number one again!

Both Frieda and Lyn were on the green for four, Frieda to putt first - a good 6' uphill putt, it went just past the hole and Lyn gave the tap in...so Frieda down for 6 and Lyn had about a 5' putt to win the hole... and she did - down it went!!

It was a great battle all the way round!

Well done both and congratulations to Lyn on the win! 

Great Match!
