Woodcock wins Guernsey golf event

Golf

A past Guernsey Ladies captain won the Yorkshire Guernsey Cancer Relief Trophy with 40 stableford points after a tight count back on Tuesday.

Mireille Woodcock played off a handicap of 18 which after the results was reduced to 16.

She had previously won the trophy when she first took up golf in 1990.

"I was very relaxed and hitting the ball well and was enjoying every minute thinking 'make the most of this, it may not happen again'," she said.

Veronica Bougourd, who plays off a handicap of five, had the best converted gross of 81.

Also closing with 40 points were Sue Boot, who finished in second place, and Ann Emmett who came third.

Pam Le Vallee finished in fourth place with 39 points.

Fifth and sixth position went to Sally Ingrouille and Sarah Cumming respectively.

A junior prize was also introduced for the first time this year which was won by Aimee Ponte with 35 points, playing off a handicap of 28.

Aimee, who is only 11 years old, has been playing golf since the age of six and obtained her handicap last year.

The event also raised nearly £1,200 for the Guernsey Society for Cancer Relief.
