2022: Fox Hunt Final (26.10.)

The overall winners of the Fox Hunt


Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa

 

Today we had 30 players taking part in the third and final round of the Fox Hunting Game.  It was a two ball better ball competition where the pairs measured themselves against the Foxes and were awarded points if they played better than the Foxes.  On this occasion, the formidable pair of Foxes being chased were Greta Biersteker and Eddy Fagg.

 

There were prizes for the 4 overall winners and for the two best pairs of the day, as well as the usual nearest the pins.  The overall winners did not get a bottle of wine as usual, but instead received pictures hand painted by our Captain’s wife Lief Heyens, which was a wonderful idea for a different prize.

 

Many congratulations to all the fox hunting winners, and a special mention of John Garnett who was the outstanding overall winner.
