The theme was Double Sevens with players doubling their Stableford points on their best seven holes and adding those to the remaining seven.

So with par effectively 42 Jakki Tidey could be delighted with her 48-point total.

Playing off 28 on a rain-softened course she was five points clear of Lyn Turner and 11 better than third-placed Rosemary Martin.

The ladies, like the rest of Heath’s members and golfers throughout England, have now put their clubs away while hoping to being back in action early in December.
