Diana Brothers Drawn Pairs Competition 2024

Forty club members entered the 2024 Diana Brothers Drawn Pairs and were divided into 5 blocks of 4 pairs with three blocks playing in the morning warmth and sunshine. The 2 afternoon blocks weren't so lucky as the wind got up and the temperature dropped.
The competition was played under the Advantage Play rules and the draw ensured that low handicappers were paired with higher handicappers. This resulted in nearly 75% of the games starting level or -1:0 and the remainder with a advantage of 2 hoops.
Congratulations to the winners of the groups: Linda Gavigan & Kathy McColgan; Pam Gooders & Diana Rolfe; Vincent L'Estrange & Pat Harden; Ian Johnson & Anne Stanton and Rachel Pointon & Mike Stanton.

Thanks to Vincent and Roger for managing the day, and Fiona for overall planning.
