Triple Touchers

 

The following is an interesting event as reported by Gordon Campbell.

"This situation occurred in a social mixed triples match which John Russell and Barbara and I played at Port City on Sunday 27th May. I have occasionally seen TWO resting touchers in the past but never before THREE" 

This begs the question - can you physically have 4 resting touchers? 

Thanks to Gordon for this information including the photo.
