On Tuesday 15th the final of this years mini league took place. After 3 months of competition the winners of each of the 3 leagues met to decide the ultimate champion.
Heather Hallchurch, the blue league winner, John Hurley the red league winner and Chris Shannon the green league winner played a 3 way singles game of 12 ends. The first 4 ends were with 2 woods, the next 4 ends were with 3 woods and the final 4 ends were with 4 woods.
Played against a background of a Sheryl Crow album, Heather would have preferred Baroque or classical at least but everyone had the same distraction, and occasional sound effects and with decent weather for a change the 3 protagonists started straight away. At the end of the 2 wood section Chris was in the lead by 1 shot and after the 3 wood section Heather had taken a 2 shot lead. In the final 4 ends Heather increased her lead to win by 6 shots and pick up the £40 winners pot. Sadly John was somewhat off form. but we all have our off days, but still managed some remarkable shots.
I think it's fair to say that everyone concerned had a bit of a laugh and enjoyed not just the final but the previous 3 months.
I would like to thank everyone who took part with a special thanks to Adrian Wilcox who was the official scorer on finals day and has helped me organise the event.
