The A Grade winner, with a brilliant score of 35 points, was Helena Ross, who really hit her straps today and played some magnificent golf. Well played, Helena!

Runner-up was Shirley Grenfell, who also played some fantastic golf to finish with 35 points, just pipped on a countback for the win. Well done.

Third place went to Lee Pickett with a consistent round of 32 points, and Lee also slam-dunked her third shot into the hole on the 18th for an easy birdie!

Runner-up was Julie Roweth, who found some form to also finish with 36 points, and third place went to Wendy McIntyre with a steady 36 points. A three-way countback was needed in this grade. Very close.

Players will play off the same handicap they started on and remain on that handicap until all matches are completed.

The cards have been done for you and where you get your shots (if any) have been written on the card. It is played off the Match Play Index. Remember it is a stroke event. It is best scored as plus and minus. Please organise your matches and let the pro shop know when you plan to play, in case they have another booking.

A reminder that Annie Beaumont is taking donations of any unwanted handbags, which will be filled with useful women's items – the cause is domestic violence. Please bring them along on Wednesdays.
