A FAMILY pair came out on top in Broadway Golf Club’s annual John Freeman Mixed Open competition.
Broadway welcomed 27 pairs from across the region to the club’s course as competitors faced some of the most testing conditions of the season.
Torrential rain showers and strong winds made for a stern test.
However, the golfers overcame the adverse weather as home pair Louise Folkes and her grandson, Ned Shaw, produced a round of 42 points to claim victory.
Ladbrook Park Golf Club pair Andy Lloyd and Elisabeth Senior matched the winning total only for Folkes and Shaw to secure the trophy on countback.
Named in honour of former club professional John Freeman, the club donated the trophy in 2002 to commemorate the golfer’s contribution to Broadway.
Freeman completed 40 years of dedicated service at the club from November 1963 to November 2003.
Following his retirement as head professional, Freeman continued to support the club as assistant professional to his son, Martyn, until his death in 2014.
