The NCLGA Coronation Foursomes took place at Newark Golf Club on Monday, 2nd June, 2014, on what turned out to be a lovely warm sunny day. Some 48 couples took part with the course being presented in excellent condition providing a challenging test.

 

The winning pair returning a magnificent 41 points were Alison Harrold and Bernie Barton from The Nottinghamshire GC. In second place were the pairing of A. Lindley and M. Burrows from Mapperley GC returning a fine 39 points. Lynn Harris and Jenny Batty from Coxmoor GC finishined in third place returning a very creditable 37 points won with the better back nine from J. Richards and D. Sully from Stanton on the Wolds GC also with 37 points. Completing the prize winners in 5th position with 35 points were Lesley Morris and Carol Houghton from The Nottinghamshire GC.

 

The Coronation Foursomes Cups will be presented to the prizewinners at the County AGM to be held at Beeston Fields GC on 24th November.

One special moment to mention for Alison Pitkethly from Beeston Fields GC who secured her first hole in one at the 148 yard par 3 5th hole. Alison whilst trying to convince me she used a pitching wedge (we all know it was that well used and trusted 13 wood) that got the job done – well done Alison!

 

Thanks must be recorded to Newark GC for agreeing to host the event and for the help and support that was provided to the Association. A raffle also took place on the day and thanks to the generosity of all who participated a cheque for £202 will be sent to Breast Cancer Care – thank you.
