LEOMINSTER ladies' captain Wendy Lawrenson showed a pleasing, if somewhat mischievous, sense of humour when she took her colleagues for a Captains' Day Out to Builth Wells.

Being the only left-hander in the party, she left a couple of left-handed clubs on the tee at the par-three 15th hole with specific instructions that everyone should use one of the clubs for their tee shot on that hole.

They all enjoyed trying the 'wrong way round' and a couple of ladies bagged a par on the hole.

Results: 1 Wendy Lane 35 stableford points, 2 Geraldene Kelly 34, 3 Julie Powell 32; front nine: Kath Card 18; back nine: Kath Carter 17; nearest the pin: Pat Owen; longest drive: Bet Hinchliffe.

The team beat visiting Ombersley 3- in a friendly at Ford's Bridge.
