Her round of nett 75 gave her the overall win while Jane Briggs won the Silver Division with nett 77, and Karen Archer shot a nett 81 to take home the Bronze Division prize.

The conditions were equally as testing in the seniors’ away match at Elsham Golf Club when heavy gusts plagued the visitors’ rounds on the formidable parkland course.

Donna Wood’s score of 37 was the pick of the ladies’ scores, just a point ahead of Jane Briggs in second place.
