Dunbar Ladies are Headway winners

Janet Wake, Gillian Kirkwood, Carol Halliday and Anne Marshall

"Dunbar Ladies", three of whom were members of Dunbar GC, won the Headway Charity Team event in perfect golfing weather at Winterfield Golf Club on Saturday.
The format of the tournament was rather like a Pro-Am - teams of four, with the best two net scores counting at each hole. Dunbar CSS is 65 for men, 68 for women. Women playing in the event were given three extra shots on their handicaps to make up the difference.
The Dunbar Ladies team of Carol Halliday, Janet Wake, Anne Marshall and Gillian Kirkwood played some astonishing golf over the first nine holes to be one under threes.... total 53 (11 under par), and although their back nine was a more sedate 62 (4 under par) they managed to win by three shots from the Sterling Fabrication team of Tom Brady, Ian Davidson, Sean Cox and John Pearson who scored 118. Another Ladies team (Dottie Wallace, Jan Forbes, Anne Paterson and Susan Owen) were third on 120.
Headway provides support and information to adult brain injured survivors, their families and carers. They also aim to raise awareness of the impact of brain injury on people's lives. There are headway groups throughout the UK, see http://www.headway.org.uk
The friendly atmosphere within the group helps to reduce the social isolation sometimes experienced by members and has helped many find the confidence to relearn old skills or develop new interests. The East Lothian branch of Headway made over £1000 from the event.
