Axe Cliff Golf club Ladies recently enjoyed a fun game with the Seniors pairing up for a 15-hole stableford match on a very windy and cold day. Despite the weather there were some very good scores with five pairs over 30 points.

The week started well at Axe Cliff Golf Club with the Seniors winning the annual Tic Trophy from the Ladies on Monday - some recompense for losing

order achieved on each hole with a blob counting as 0. For example if a team scored 4 x 3 x 0 then they had 0 total on that hole. If you only had two players in your team, then the third player was assumed had one point on each hole. This is going to take some checking so we will have to wait until next week for the result.

Axe Cliff Ladies finished their friendly matches with a close win at home against Honiton 3 & 1 in good weather and in very good spirits - a nice way to end the season.
