A small group of Ladies at Axe Cliff Golf Club played in a fun Stableford last Wednesday at home with Karin Cox taking the honours with a fine 37 points.

Paula Heasman, hoping desparately for her old Red CV2 called Poppy to pass her MOT, came second with 30 points but only on countback from Jo Hopgood.

Brian has now been cut to 10, but I predict he will be in single figures before the end of the year.

John Purdy won Division Two with a 71, just edging Nick Jones into second spot on 72 and Pete Casey third with 75.

After the competition, Seniors' captain John Hanna was pleased to present a cash gift to Andy Jeffrey for his wonderful work for the club, these past three years.

Andy has been bar steward, bar manager and green keeper, just to name a few roles, and was very popular and appreciated by all of us for his care and

Anyone is welcome to book their spots which will include expert training lessons, some golf play with free drinks and food. Just phone the club on 01297 21754.
