FINALS DAILY MAIL FOURSOMES

AT DALMAHOY

Mother and daughter pairing of Sandy and Alexandra Bushby did themselves proud at Dalmahoy this week when they took part in the Finals of the Daily Mail Foursomes event. It is estimated that over 190,000 players start out at the beginning of the tournament having to qualify not just from their club but then having to win through 7 further rounds of matchplay competition just to make it into the prestigious last 16. The horrendous weather conditions of gale force winds and driving rain meant that the Finals had to be reduced from 4 rounds of matchplay to 2 rounds of stableford which was unfortunate and the first time in the 48 year history of the event that the winners have been decided in this way. Nonetheless the weather did not dampen the spirits too much and despite not winning through to the last 4 on day 2, Sandy and Alex, accompanied by their fab 4 supporters, made the most of their time away and took full advantage of the hospitality on offer. A fantastic time was had by all and what a wonderful achievement to have reached the the last 16. Well done Sandy and Alex! More photos to follow.....
