GC Handicap Doubles Tournament

Six pairs competed in the clubs GC Doubles Tournament last Thursday. On a blisteringly hot day the speed of play was noticeably slower after lunch. The pairing of Elaine Morrison and Sue Ramsdale set the pace with 3 wins out of 3 in the morning and continued after lunch with a 4th win. Chasing them closely were Mary-Jane Middlehurst and Brenda Gray who despite losing their first match to Elaine/Sue won their next 3 to be one win behind going into the last round. In the last round the leaders were soundly beaten by Clare Fletcher/Christine Lutman whilst Mary-Jane and Brenda won their match. This resulted in a tie on 4 wins each with the winners being decided on nett hoop difference. Elaine and Sue were declared the winners.
