SALLY Fycun has been reflecting on her progress at Ross Golf Club as the ladies’ section annual programme draws to a close.

She took up the sport only two years ago and has cut her handicap from 36 to a creditable 15.5.

Fycun gained her first honours board win on Championship Finals day when she defeated Katie Greenwood on the 19th green to become the Ladies Summer Knock-out Champion.

Her selection for the Ross Ladies B team has been fully justified and in the singles matches format she currently holds a 100 per cent win record in her five games played.

While the recent re-arranged Annual Ladies Invitational resulted in a reduced entry of 28 pairings, Fycun and her guest Pauline Bryant, from Ombersley, found the ideal partnership to score 40 points to leave Sally Lawrence and Sue Dimond-Brown, of Puckrup Hall, having to settle for the runners-up spot with 39 points.

A few days later Fycun’s name appeared at the top of the final score-sheet when Annette Mansie completed her highly effective year as Ross Lady Captain with her ‘Final Fling’ team event.

Their 95 points total in which Fycun played alongside Fiona Lucas, Sara Gregson and Cass Todd made them clear team winners and meant that Chris Crane, Hannah Whibley, Pam Duke and Pat Watkins were in second place on count-back with 91 points.

Fycun has been able to enjoy her new-found vocation playing alongside her 12-year-old son, Timmy.

The Fycun family celebrations were emphatic when, in July, club president Doug Duncanson rewarded both for their respective performances in his annual prize event.

Despite being golfing novices a few years ago, Timmy scored 40 points off a 23 handicap to claim fourth place overall and make him the best junior player and Sally’s 38-point score gave her the best ladies performer prize.
