Last week’s competition was a Texas Scramble played from the green tees. A number of the top six teams faltered over the final three holes proving to be a really tough finish to the round.

The winning trio of Alan Elkington, Roy Matthews and Rob Rogers had a fine round of gross seventy net fifty seven which included four birdies and two bogeys. Runners-up with a gross seventy three net fifty nine were Dave Brain, Martin Clark and Tony Edwards with three birdies on the back nine.

Tony Quinn, Pete Ross and Alan Smith came in third with a gross seventy five net sixty with two bogeys in the final three holes proving to be rather costly.

In the friendly match played at Saltford, Farrington Park Seniors ran out winners with a fine victory of five games to two.
