Congratulations to Enmore Park Ladies, who beat The Mendip at Stockwood Vale Golf Club in Bristol to advance to the semi-final of the county-wide Rogers Cup, writes Richard Walsh.
Enmore's Pat Rodgers, Julie Blumgart and Tina Morgan won three out of the first four matches on a short but challenging course. However, Enmore then lost three further matches to make it all to play for in the final contest. Jackie Woodman was one up going to the 16th and finally won 2&1. Enmore will now play Taunton and Pickeridge in the semi-finals at Cricket St Thomas.
On Wednesday, Pat Rodgers, Eileen Chave, and Alison Greenslade won the Ladies Walker Plate Team 18-hole Bowmaker with 75, one ahead of second-placed Janet Waplington, Linda Anniss, and Eileen Binding with 74. Joan Dovey, Karen Flanagan, and Linda Moore took third place with 69.
The Ladies' 9-hole Team Bowmaker was won by Chris Pashley, Carolyn Blackwood, and Heather Neale with 36, nine ahead of second-placed Anne Elliott-Rose, Miriam Bachelor, and Claire Down, who scored 27.
Despite the dire weather, the ladies from Wells and Enmore Golf Clubs managed to play a 9-hole match that was enjoyed by all, as was the very pleasant meal afterwards.
