Despite the weather, there was a good turnout for the BJW Shoot Out over the weekend.
With B.J.’s offspring falling off the pace at a great rate, Loop and Oscar Lourie were the last hopes but by the fifth hole they were gone as well. So the last two standing are Pete Smithson and Pip McBride.
Pete had a handy first but Pip left her best till last and chipped in with Belle to take the title.
They are the first women at Strathmore to win a shoot out so the glass ceiling has been smashed.
Next Sunday is the club championship finals so any outstanding games need to be played this week.
On Friday, June 21 is the Animal Health Tournament. This is ambrose format so get a team and get your entries into Tippy on 0279423647.
