Roll up Thursday 13th August
41 players including some juniors and guests competed in very hot and humid SRC weather. Good scoring all around with 76% of players scoring 30 or more points. Andy Stanford made a long-awaited return to the winner’s podium with 37 points and told me that the secret was taking two weeks off playing bad golf and coming back a new man! Runner up was Paul Cambridge also with 37 points. John Hunter won both the Nearest to the Pin and the 2’s prizes. A special mention to two of our juniors, Ryan Killorn & Max Meggitt who both scored a net 70 off -1 and +2 handicaps, respectively.
