Since moving the date of this fixture to September, to coincide with Father's Day, there has been a growth of numbers participating and only a few withdrew on the day.
The competition was pairs best ball stableford. In the Mothers & Daughters Bowl section Janet Osborn and mother-in-law Jan retained their title with Janet collecting the longest drive and Jan nearest to the pin. In the Other Pairings group long time member Colin Caldwell playing with his son-in-law Gareth James were successful with 36 points narrowly heading off Michael Kerr partnered by his granddaughter Emilie Batt.
Considerable interest focused on the Father & Son competition and there was a wide spread of ages and abilities ensuring a very close competition would ensue. In the end a countback was required to separate the two top combinations with Andrew Sloane and son Alex being the eventual winners with 45 points the same number as Grant and Gerard Osborn as runners up. Close behind in third were Dodge and Danny Healy on 44 just ahead of Dean & Don Corry on 43.
George Sim won the longest drive for a Son with a shot that was only just short of green on 18 and making it a family affair, father Peter was closest to the pin for 2 on 18. The players were all greeted with a fish and chip dinner when they entered the Clubhouse which seemed the perfect way to end the day. We look forward to an expanded event in 2011 and are already considering ways in which to improve the event and make it more enjoyable.
