Camilla and Penny come close in the Ping.

Well done to Camilla Mott and Penny Harrison who were runners-up on countback (last three holes) in the national women's Ping 4BBB tournament at Thonock Park in Lincolnshire.

Our dynamic duo scored 44pts to just miss out to a higher-handicapped pair from Muswell Hill. As 9,000 pairs had entered the nationwide competition, it was an amazing achievement for Camilla and Penny to win the second prize.

It took a score of 47pts in our June club Ping competition for Camilla and Penny to make the cut for the best 52 pairs to reach Monday's national final, where they were supported by caddies Sue Wakerley and Sue Choularton.
