Steele in Close Vets Golf Win

THE Gloucester Veteran Golfers outing on Tuesday 10 February saw Chis Steele win by a single point on a course showing some nice improvements after the dry period earlier in the year.

The event was an Individual Stableford sponsored by Di and Steve Burns and attracted a modest sized field.

The winner was Chris Steele with 40 Stableford points just one point ahead of runner up, Jim Dunn, 39. Balls were won by Rick Paff 37, Roy Crichton and Peter Sate 36, and by Sally Higgins and Carolyn Davies 34.

The Nearest-to-the-Pin at the 4th and 13th holes was won by Arthur Poynting; at the 6th and 15th holes that honour went to Carolyn Davies and Rick Paff.

This past Tuesday, 17 February, the Gloucester Veterans played an Individual Stroke event sponsored by Joy and Steve Hurworth. Next Tuesday 24 February there is scheduled an Individual Stableford sponsored by Anne Wand.
