Rex Bullock Trophy April 9 2024

 


Winner Keith Howlett receives the Rex Bullock Trophy from Richard Westergreen-Thorne

The Rex Bullock Trophy competition - the first of the Senior Section's Golfer of the Year qualifiers - was played in challenging conditions on the Carthagena course after it was switched from the partially-flooded John O'Gaunt.

Early starters suffered the worst of the rain while later starters had to contend with strong winds and the odd squall.

Nevertheless 105 souls braved the weather and the scores - only 9 scored more than 36 points - reflected the difficulty of the day.

As ever, some rose to the challenge with impressive rounds. In first place, with 41, was Keith Howlett, winning his first competition at John O'Gaunt since moving from Bourne.

In second place, also with 41 points, and beaten on countback, was Paul Jones.

And in third, with 40 points, was Rob Anderson.

£10 raffle prizes were won by Paul Clark, Sam Standen, Neil Pinnington and Andrew Brookman. 


Second place: Paul Jones

Third place: Rob Anderson
