On Wednesday Sidmouth Ladies played a fun four-ball better ball competition, writes Maria Clapp.

Once again the ladies were able to play in glorious sunshine!

The course is certainly looking a picture with all the autumnal colours and how nice it is to be able to see all the wildlife, especially the deer.

The competition was close with countback required to determine the winners as Susan Hackett and Dorthe Fowler with 44 points – countback going to the back six holes!

Edged into second place were Chris Cave and Mo Kendall – they too scored 44 points.

Third, a point behind, were Penny Ashby and Yvonne Anning with 43 points.

Once again there were no two’s, although there were some very near misses! Therefore, the pot is getting even larger!
