Congratulations to Frank and Margaret Lambert. They are the 2011 winners of the OGC Family Foursomes Trophy. The competition, always played on the May Day bank holiday Monday, saw 19 pairs enter with a further 7 pairs playing in the alternative 'Orphans ' competition. The Foursome format is a bit like Marmite - you either love it or hate it - but it can certainly test a family relationship!!!
Harmony was obviously the name of the game for Frank and Margaret who came in with a net score of 73, 2 shots ahead of John and Liz Jarvie in second place.
Captains Geoff Chaplin and Lynda Cooper came up with the idea of an alternative 'Orphans' competitions to allow others to join in on the day. They renagued on taking the title having scored a net 70 but awarded it to Margaret Huyton and her partner on the day Martin Butlin with a score of 73.
In true Olton style the majority of participants stayed to enjoy the apres golf meal and it's accompanying convivial atmosphere.
