Copt Heath pair win Brenda King Foursomes
NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Warwickshire county president Angela Dawson celebrated her birthday in style today when she paired up with Jane Jones to win the Brenda King Foursomes at Minchinhampton.
“It was a wonderful present!” said Angela, after she and Jane scored their narrow victory. The partners, who are both members at Copt Heath, won the end-of-season seniors’ competition on countback.
They beat the 2007 winners, Carolyn Kirk and Ruth Lindley, thanks to their better second round.
“We were delighted to win, thoroughly chuffed,” said Angela, who plays off six. Jane, who is the sister of the renowned amateur golfer Peter McEvoy, is a five-handicapper.
The first round of the competition was played on the Avening course and the Warwickshire pair finished the day in a share of third place, three shots off the lead. Their second round score, of five-over 76 on the Cherington course, equalled the best of the day and moved them to the top of the leaderboard.
“We just went out to try and improve on our first round score and to have a steady round,” said Angela. “Then, with a of luck, everything else falls into place.”
The competition remembers the late Brenda King, who was a prominent senior and past Lancashire county captain. Last year’s winners, Marie Miller and Jeanette Williams are members of Pleasington, where Mrs King played, and they returned to make a good defence, finishing in sixth place.
Minchinhampton’s Sue Heathcote and Caroline Shepherd won the handicap prize.
