Congratulations to Dennis Suter who was the the overall Medal winner on Sunday. Dennis shot 91-23=68 on another difficult day for scoring. Paul Harford 81-10=71 pipped Robert Drewery 81-10=71 on count back in Division I with Pete Seymour 78-6=72 third, Ashley Anthony 77 was Best Gross. Russ Harris 89-17=72 used his new Custom Fitted TaylorMade Speedblade irons to secure the Division II victory from John Rickett 91-16=75 and Chris Wright 88-13=75. Alan Clack 96-23=73 was second to Dennis in Division III with Colin Burton 97-23=74 in third. The Two's were elusive on Sunday with only Paul Harford, John Rickett and Gordon Thompson scoring the magic number.
This weekend sees the Tiger ERA Trophy on Saturday and the Massey O'Brien Foursomes on Sunday, we still have plenty of times available for both so please contact the Pro Shop if you would like to play. The US Open also starts this Thursday, it sounds like the Pinehurst number two course will be a tough test of golf as all US Opens are. Not so much deep tough rough though this time, more firm greens with run off areas meaning it will favour the short game wizards that also hit it a mile, I think it's a long course. Let's hope all the Europeans do well. It's not long until the Ryder Cup now either and both teams are shaping up well, a good performance this week could guarantee an appearance.
A Team
The A Team got their season off and running with a very close fought 3.5 to 2.5 victory over last year's runners up Sudbrook Moor on Saturday. Brendan Greville & Paul Pamphillon, Pete Seymour & Ben Templeman, Ashley Anthony & Gav Heaton were the winning pairs with Dave Bridges & Sean Evans getting a half to secure the match victory. The B Team had a bye this week.
Macmillan Longest Day Golf Challenge
This national event last year raised £780,000 nationwide, it involves playing 72 Holes in one day which is definitely a challenge. Taking up that challenge this year are members Luke Martin and Ashley Anthony along with Adam & Rik Green.
