Braving the Shirley rough a field of 32 turned out to do battle for the Hill Skinner Cup the symbol of supremacy for the Husband & Wife combination of the Christchurch Golf Club. The competition was by way of four-ball par not stableford as some competitors believed.
Conditions were challenging with a nor'easter keeping the temperatures moderate and the course being decidedly testing. Taking those matters into consideration the scoring was understandably slightly less than would have otherwise been anticipated. However on a score of +7 by countback the winners were David Robinson & Stephanie Beth from Raj Rajendra & Nancy Lim closely followed by Struan & Terry Cain on +6 in third by countback from Grant & Janet Osborn who had eventually got their card correct.
Probably indicative of the difficulty of the day was that no 2's were recorded. The prize for closest to the pin on 18 for two for men was Struan Cain and for women for three was Nancy Lim. Hitting off first from number one was the final of the Page Trophy where eventually Murray & Lorraine Smith were victorious over Alan and Karyn Scott.
The next Mixed Event is closing day scheduled for 28 November a mixed foursome stableford sponsored by Macquarie Private Wealth. Please note it will be a shotgun start but playing the nine hole layout twice.
