On Tuesday the 16th July Henbury Golf Club hosted one of the area finals of the R&A Coronation Foursomes for women. Seventy one pairs representing golf clubs, mainly from the west country right down to Cornwall, competed for the opportunity to play in the competition finals at the ‘home of golf’ St Andrews.
The winners, representing Mendip Spring Golf Club were Sally Coles & Claire Hagen with 44 points.
There were also prize vouchers for the 2nd and 3rd place and these were awarded to Sue Holmes & Suzanne Jones from Woodbury Park GC and Rosie Spragg & Louise Worth from Taunton & Pickeridge GC both on 42 points with Sue & Suzanne claiming 2nd place on count back.
There was also a raffle with the proceeds going to the Lady captains charity ‘The Soutmead Project’ a local charity which provides free counselling & support for survivors of abuse & addiction across Bristol & surrounding areas.
We thank you all for your support for this important charity.

We would also like to thank all those Members who gave up their time both in the preparation and on the day to make this event run smoothly and such a success. Of course not forgetting our green staff who worked tirelessly to ensure that the course was presented in the best possible condition and our bar & catering staff who kept us fed and watered throughout the day. Perhaps the best feed back for this effort is that the R&A have already indicated that we will be considered to host future events!
