The weather deterred many golfers but despite the far from favourable conditions on Tuesday a dozen brave members of the Ladies Section at Taunton and Pickeridge ventured out onto the course to take part in a Texas Scramble.

At the end of the competition the winners were Mary-Jo Shepherd, Carolyn Fawcett, Liz Cutler and Jill Paul. Well done to all who took part and congratulations to the winning team.
