Competition News
April Junior Stableford
After what seemed like a never-ending winter, Saturday 14th April saw the start of the 2018 Junior season. Due to the heavy rain from the previous day a number of temporary greens were in play making the competition a non-qualifying event. The scoring was very competitive throughout the field and a fantastic gross 76 (nett 65) from Jake Willshaw was only good enough for second place. The winner on the day was Peter Malkin scoring 91 gross (nett 65) with 2 birdies and 2 pars beating Jake in a card playoff. A great start to the season and with more performances like this Peter's handicap will be tumbling down this year. Third place went to Greg Lilley with an 82 gross (70 nett).
Congratulations to all who took part and we look forward to seeing you on Saturday 28th April for the George Mountford Trophy. First tee off is 9.15am.
Final Reminder for all juniors to call into pro shop to order Junior Shirts for the season.
