Winter Mixed Pairs Knock Out Cup.

A bitter sweet moment as Lady Captain Elaine Knobel-Forbes (Left) presents her husband and Tina Broadley with the Chishill Vase following her defeat with Martin Lane in the Winter Mixed Pairs Knock-out Final over the blustery Essex and Cambridgeshire Courses at Heydon Grange.  Two up at the turn, Broadley immediately piled on the pressure by taking both the 10^th and 11^th holes with pars and with Malcolm Knobel-Forbes driving the 12^th green the pair went five up and the game appeared sealed.  However, a missed short putt by Malcolm Knobel-Forbes on the 13^th gave Elaine Knobel-Forbes and Martin Lane a breathing space which they promptly seized and Elaine Knobel-Forbes’ par on the 14^th and Lane’s crucial seven foot putt on the 15^th put the leading pair under the first real pressure of the game.  However, Broadley’s cool nerve held and her halved par on the 16^th secured the victory.
