Dianne Platt is the toast of Spalding Golf Club ladies’ section after winning the Lincolnshire Senior Championship title.

The Spalding ace returning a gross 81 (nett 70) to take top spot at the Mark Rasen GC event.

Platt’s handicap was also reduced from 11 to ten as a result of her county heroics.

Her nett 113.5 was enough to edge Dianne Platt (114) into second spot.

Angela Roper (114.5) took third place on count back on the last six holes from Elizabeth Holbrook.

  • Spalding ladies were beaten 4-1 by Middleton Hall in the fourth round of the Mail on Sunday competition.
