On Monday 14 a beginner session for those young ladies now keen to take the next step will be held between 5.30pm and 6.30pm.

There will also be a ladies improver course over the par three layout from 1.30pm to 3.30pm on Saturday, the 12th of the month.

Martin Trenholme eclipsed the field by three clear stokes, playing his way to a three under par 67.

An opening net birdie followed by a net eagle on the long par five gave Martin’s

round some early impetus.

A dropped shot on the fourth pegged the round back a little, but consistent play and a tidy finish saw him comfortably back with a good win under his belt.
