The Final of the 2018/19 Winter Foursomes KO Competition was played at The Lambourne Club on 15 April 2019 in sunny conditions but with a bitter gusty wind. We were warmly welcomed by the Lady Captain of The Lambourne, Jackie Edwards. The finalists were Pam Heavyside and Jackie Taylor from Wexham Park Golf Club and Margot Sharp and Fiona Robb from Buckingham Golf Club; all former Lady Captains of their respective Clubs.
The match see-sawed with Buckingham having the early lead but Wexham Park pulled back with a string of wins. On the 12th, Sue McKeon, (our match referee), was called upon when a Wexham Park ball, hit into the green, disappeared before the eyes of all. The ground was thoroughly searched by players, caddies and spectators before a grassed over hole was found near the green and, after Pam bravely put her hand in, first retrieving one ball and then the Wexham Park ball, play was continued. The match was all square at this stage.
Pam Heavyside and Jackie Taylor were the eventual winners on the 18th with 2 up. After a lovely tea with scones, jam and cream, prizes and the Cup were presented by the BCLGA County Captain, Gail Sharp.
