Andrews in runaway golf win

SATURDAY 20 September at the Gloucester course Mitch and Jamie Andrews led the way in what can only be described as a runaway win, their combined score being six points ahead of their nearest rival.

Mitch no doubt banked on his good form for the LNC junior team to break his own handicap by nine.

It was generally a high scoring day with the event a Four Ball Better Ball sponsored by Harwell Lifts on a generally fine day with the course getting back to its normal top condition.

The winning pair were Mitch Andrews and Jamie Andrews who combined for 51 Stableford points.

In second place were Ben Veitch and Mark Gorton 45 while Kempsey visitors Matt Hamilton and Les Hamilton 44 and Paul Coote and Brian Osborne 44 finished in third and fourth places respectively in a multiple count back.

The top Individual score went to Mitch Andrews with a mighty nine-better-than-handicap 45; he was followed by Mark Gorton, 38.

Balls were won by Mitch Andrews 45, Mark Gorton 38, Kev Arney, Paul Coote and Steve Macdonald 37, Jamie Andrews and Mark Stone 36 and Stacey Groves 35.

The Nearest-to-the-Pin trophies at the 4th and 13th holes were won in the three grades by Steve Macdonald 292 cm, Mark Stone 343 cm and Mark Gorton 277 cm.

At the shorter 6th and 15th holes Jamie Andrews 170 cm, Mitch Andrews 450 cm and Luke Hamilton 253 cm represented the three grades.

In the Super Sevens for the week ending Friday 19 September the winner, with a very handy 20 points, was Mark Darner.
