They both arrived by the West Putting Green next to the Clubhouse in a ‘Buggy made for two’ flanked either side by fellow members to support them. The distance was marked as they took their drives towards the Vardon (Upper Course).

Marie was the first to drive in, set up by Mike Henning, Club Professional, reaching 124 yards followed by David’s strike of the ball which reached 216 yards.
