THE Jock Callaghan Trophy at Mendip Golf Club attracted a field of 140 players and the winner, for the second week in a row, was Mario Rolli, with a brilliant nett 65, winning on countback from Eric Jordan.

Special mention goes to George Morgan for his fine gross 69 and to last year’s men’s club captain Jack Hayes with a superb gross 70.

Meanwhile, Lynne Vowles holed in one on the 18th in the John Wain 1 Competition.

The seniors played for the Bill Smith Cup, the 2nd Order of Merit event and victory went to Peter Daulby with a fine 43 points. Hot on his heels in runners-up spot was Phil Butcher with 42 points.

On a sunny, but breezy, afternoon the Mendip Seniors were on the road again, this time to Sherborne where, unfortunately, their away form let them down again. A strong showing from the home team led to a 5-1 loss.

As always, the hospitality and food served by Sherborne was excellent and despite the defeat "Godwin's Green & White Warriors" will pick themselves up, dust themselves down, and be ready for a home against Bristol & Clifton.

The Ladies A team played Long Ashton at home. Despite some threatening weather, golfers survived one downpour and had several close matches. The final result was 9-5 to Mendip.

After a disappointing away defeat earlier in the week, despite the absence of their talismanic Senior Captain, the Mendip Seniors showed their resilience and strength in depth by winning their next match at home against Bristol & Clifton.

On a pleasant, if not squally afternoon, the home course was in excellent condition, and senior vice-captain Ian Whittamore was able to lead the team to a 4-2 victory. The away team captain voiced his appreciation of the course, catering and home team hospitality said he very much looks forward to the return fixture.
