Congratulations to John Corsham, who won the Ingram GC Cup today in a tight 7/6 final against Jim Brough, who was tournament organiser.
There were 13 entrants, which was prophetic as several games went to the 13th hoop. Denise Ongley and Colette Mackenzie played strongly through to the semi-finals, after winning games against higher-graded players Pádraig O'Connor and Ron Rosenberg, respectively.
Lesley Meadows played Pam Fuller to win the Plate.
Many thanks to Jim Brough for organising an excellent tournament, which ended just before the forecast rain finally started to fall.
The Ingram trophy for the Golf Croquet Open championship was gifted in 2003 by Kathy Ingram. Kathy joined Kelburn in 1997 and was a committee member from 2002 to 2004.
