At the 19th

The competition was a two man Ambrose event sponsored by Steve Williams from Gloucester Ceramics. Thanks Steve for your generous support of the club.

Near perfect weather conditions were enjoyed by all of the 56 players, a really great field for this time of the year.

In a surprising result, all the major winners on the day came from our morning players. In first place were Bill Norris and Bob Hewett with a nett score of 62 1/2. Great work to you both. Runners up were Steve and Rob Foot only 1/4 of a nett stroke behind. Third pace went to Terry Irelend and Barney McInnes with 64 nett.

Balls went to the major place getters and to Murray Bowden and Stacey Groves on 64 3/4, Mark Howland and Rob Moore with 65, Derek Bardwell and Brian Osborne 65 1/4 and Col Laurie and Wayne Westley on 65 1/2. Some very close scoring between all the prize winners.

A grade nearest the pin on the 5th/14th went to our sponsor of the day, Steve Williams. To say that he was pleased with the shot would be a huge understatement! B Grade NTP on the 6th 16th went to Dave Garland and C grade to I Coates.

Best second shot on the difficult 7th hole was hit by Denver Webb.

The Stratford Coal Super Seven competition for the week was won by Rob Moore on a count back from Drew Garland on 18 points. Balls went to Brian Barlow, Evelyn Blanch and Dan Buckley, all with 17 points, and Lindsay Merchant, Phil Bowden, Dave Garland and Paul Blanch with 16 points.

Competition next Saturday is a 4BBB Stableford with an Individual in conjunction sponsored by Gloucester Autolec.

Vets golf

Under overcast skies on December the 23rd. saw the last Vets golf competition for the year. With Christmas celebrations rapidly looming, the days event was not short on participants for the very interesting and challenging Bob and Marie Hewett’s Mulligan’s Trophy.

In this event each player is restricted to using only three clubs of their own choice which makes for some interesting tactical as well as careful playing.
