A few words from the overall winner Joy Foster – ‘I was very fortunate to have pulled my ‘A’ game out and actual won the day with 41 points. My thanks to my playing partners, Vanessa Statham and Stephanie Overton, for keeping me motivated. I had 23 points on first 9, then 1 point on the 10th, then a glass of Pimms and a slice of cake, at the Halfway House, energized me to get back on track, to score 18 on the back 9.
It was lovely to get dressed up, having a meal and glass of wine or two and finally sitting outside enjoying the warm summer night, bliss! My thanks to Suzanne for a well organised day and for the metal water bottle we each received and the lovely handbags received by winners of the day.’
