She set a high standard for the rest of the ladies to follow, and the drive finishing nearest to the captain’s was that of Bridget Holmes who was later presented with a bottle of champagne.

There then followed a competition played in teams of three, with two scores to count on each hole and all three scores to count on the 18th.

On the same score, but losing out on countback, were Pauline Neal, Geraldine Johnson and Rhona Bradford, and just one point back in third place was Lesley Brewis, Helen Gibbard and JulieAnn Sims.

* The following week the ladies played their Yellow Tees competition which required them to play off the men’s yellow tees and use the men’s stroke index.

However, they were allowed an extra shot on each hole which resulted in some very high scoring.
