High skills on show at the High Handicap tournament

The last of the current series of GC High Handicap tournaments was held on Tuesday 5 March.  Due to the unpredictability of the wonderful British weather the start time was delayed to avoid any risk of frost!!  From then on the weather improved until the sun shone on 8 wonderful players having a great time competing for the coveted bottle of Cava! 

There were some skilful tactics and super shots throughout the day.  Particularly commendable was Joy Biggs playing her ball from the side line (by the starting square) diagonally across the lawn so that her ball sat within inches of Hoop 2.  The Final was another exciting battle between Kenny Weir and Barry Stanton with Barry securing No.1 position at the 12th hoop.
 
Penny Austin took third place after some wonderful play and Chris Stanton very bravely took part in her first match (and I hope first of many!!)

Thanks to Jane Gloster for all her support during the day.
