Three newcomers were welcomed to the Honiton Tuesday Mixed group last week, writes John Pawley.

The format was a ‘Four Clubs and a Putter’ greensome.

As so frequently happens, despite the limited number of clubs, there were some very respectable scores. In first place, with 41 points were Jan Portlock and Paul Ritchie, closely followed by Sue Ritchie and Mike Delaney with 40 points.

Third and fourth places were decided on countback with Andrea Squire and Peter Clarke’s 39 points just edging Cathy Uttley and Rob Sexton into fourth.
