Coronation Foursomes 2015

The Notts. County Ladies' Golf Association Coronation Foursomes Stableford took place at Oakmere Admirals Golf Club on Monday the 8th June 2015. The weather was fine with occasional sunshine – the showers held off for the competition but there was a testing wind. 28 pairs took part, representing 14 clubs. Foursomes are always a good test of golf and the course proved to be a tough challenge.

Congratulations to the winners ALISON HARROLD and BERNIE BARTON from The Nottinghamshire Golf Club who successfully defended their title with a score of 34 points. This score was just 1 point ahead of the runners-up place which went to J.ROWE and L.MORRIS also from The Nottinghamshire Golf Club, winning on the back 9 from myself KATHRYN HORBERRY representing Coxmoor Golf Club and MAUREEN CLARKE representing Sherwood Forest Golf Club.

It was a day to remember for Maureen and myself. Our front 9 score was boosted by the hole in one that I achieved on the par 3 8th hole. I might not have chosen to tee off on the even holes, but Maureen had to play with borrowed clubs after leaving hers in her husband's car and we thought she would not be used to the distances hit with the clubs in order to tackle the par 3 holes. Incidentally Maureen played very well with these clubs!

The Coronation Foursomes trophies will be presented to the winners at the county AGM at Beeston Fields in November.

Thanks must be recorded to the Oakmere Admirals Golf Club for hosting the event and to Mr Aslam last year's club captain for welcoming us and starting us off. Also special thanks to our President Joan Underwood, Competitions Secretary Colette Newton and Treasurer Helen Maber for their work on the day and beforehand.
