The Springs Golf Club, Sunday 13th March

The postponed birthday boys event took place with eight players enjoying a dry, if damp underfoot, day.

John Gent came home in the lead despite stumbling with the line nearing, scoring 36 points followed by Dave Scott with 31 and Paul Needle 3rd on count-back with 30.

Spot prizes went to Peter Harris NTP on the 2nd – bouncing off the marker already on the green to edge closer than Dave – who took consolation by holing his putt for the sole 2 of the event.

No one managed to get their ball onto the 16th green for a NTP, but Steve Mulford went closer in 2 at the 17th than Richard Edmonds to secure that prize.

In addition, he was the only player with the required accuracy to get his ball to stay on the fairway at the 9th for the longest drive .

Team wise John, Dave, Richard and Martin Sykes scored 81 points to take that prize.

We will look for a summer away day in July, but in the meantime the mini tour to The Dorset is just around the corner.
