Seniors Vets Trophy plus other results via Mike Healey

Seniors - Tuesday 11th July. Tom Pierce led the field of 80 players on Captain's Day and I will leave that report for the Club Captain. Following further good results on Captain's Day from the seniors, the golf was followed up on Tuesday in the Seniors/Vets Trophy. There was a little rain around to dampen spirits but not enough to affect final scores and the course has been in superb condition all week. There were no 2's recorded and 42 seniors took part in this competition with the following results: I reported yesterday that there were no 2's carded in the Senior/Vets Trophy and that information going to print was correct. However, it was decided to award the prize to the player with the lowest score across the four par three holes. There were 3 scores of 15 and 16, 2 scores of 14, but the winner with a score of 13, including a magnificent 3 on the 17th, was Don Wraight. Congratulations to him on great scoring and a big thank you to Peter Bowen for scrutinising all of the cards for those scores.
