Day 5 Answer
The final day’s challenge saw some interesting guesses ranging from 67 – 224 yards !!! But the higher ones were the closest to the mark.
Day 5 again goes to a tie break with both Graham Dodd and Emily Baxter both guessing to a yard away with 205 yards.
Tie break :
Graham guessed 78 tees in the glass.
Emily guessed 26 tees in the glass…………………
Tie Break Answer
58 tees in the glass!!
So its congratulations to ex member Graham Dodd who wins a 2 ball voucher .
However all is not lost for Emily Baxter , our 2020 Junior Captain, as closest member she wins the first tee to re-open the course with a four ball of her choice.
Thankyou for all of you who took part over the last week. Hopefully it helped with the lockdown and gave you a reminder as to what we’re all so keen to get back to once we re-open.
Keep safe Everyone
