MixedL Foursomes The “Get Together” foursomes proved very popular over the weekend and although the weather was not all that could be expected, thirty pairs took part. The winners proved to be Mrs Page and J. Bateman who returned the excellent score of 74 net. The outward journey on this card was 3 5 or one oyer the par figures which is good golf under the conditions.
