The 2005 Francis Holmes Foursome matchplay final was recently contested and it was the pairing of single-figure handicappers Wayne Carn (5) and Alan North (8) who were up against the formidable pairing of Bill Cole (13) and his son Will (21).
The lower handicappers had to concede 11 strokes in the match and it seemed that the Coles were in command as they were three up after ten holes. However the fighting qualities of Carn and North came to the fore in the back nine as they steadily eroded the deficit to finally win the match 2 and 1.
They now look forward to participating in the national Daily Mail Foursomes competition.
