Haydn & Liz Snow season’s winners
Monday 19th March saw the end of the Melton Mowbray Mixed Mingles season for another year with most of the season’s participants getting together for an end of season lunch and prize presentation.
Chris & Owen Mingles organisers and 4th place winners
Normally the Minglers would play an end of season scramble but with snow covering large areas of the golf course this was not possible. Mingles organisers Owen and Chris Cook said that in the fourteen years they had been running the Mingles competition they had never known a year like it, with heavy rains and winds and also the snow they had lost several weeks where they just weren’t able to play.
At the prize presentation it was noted that scores were lower than any of the previous years due to the weeks where people just did not play. The top six pairs in the order of merit where only their best six scores count were
1st Haydn & Liz Snow 53pts
2nd placed Bob Luke & Margaret who couldn’t attend
2nd Bob Luke & Margaret Smale 53pts OCB
3rd Phil Millward & Sandie Normanton 52pts
4th George Schmidt & Pat Barnes 52pts OCB
5th Owen & Chris Cook 50pts
6th John Squires & Bettyne Norton 44pts
3rd Phil & Sandie
Each pair won a voucher of different values to use in the Club Pro Shop or Bar.
Everyone was looking forward to the forthcoming season and the future looks bright as five new couples joined this year. Mingles will return on the 1st October 2018 with Owen and Chris at the helm again.
