Seniors 4BBB Trophy - 14th March 2017

Another sunny spring day for the 4 Ball Better Ball Competition. The draw threw up some formidable pairs and the high scores certainly reflected the quality of golf played.

Weatherwise the day improved from the off. Golfwise, for some, it didn't. Nevertheless, of the 40 teams playing, 30 scored par or better. A few teams did not drop a shot; indeed there were quite a few 4 point holes, and nine 2s, including two by Stewart Denny. Shot of the day must go to Ned Yorke who holed out for 3 on the 5th, giving his team 5 points thanks to his clearly outrageous 27 handicap. Words will be had!!

Scoring 16 on the back 6, Graham Lewis and Bob Anderson scored 45 in total points to take second place from Rod Thomas and Vernon Toms, who could only manage 15 on the back 6. (Both teams had 23 points on the back 9). But with 5 points on the 5th added to 4 points on the 10th and 18th by his partner, Ned and Peter Evans took the spoils with 46 points. If only one of their putts had dropped on the 2nd, they too would have had a perfect card.
