TUESDAY 29 July saw the closing stages of the Gloucester Veteran Golfers Winter Shield with Trevor Sharp turning in a nice round for a one-stroke win.
The event was an Individual Stoke sponsored by Paul Griffiths and played on a cool fine day with rain not too far away for most of the play.
The winner, with a net score of 73 was Trevor Sharp; he was followed by ball winners Carolyn Davies, 74, Derek Wand, 75, Mark Stone, 77 and Peter Buettel, 80. Carolyn Davies was also the top putter on the day with 30 putts in her round.
The Nearest-to-the-Pin at the 4th and 13th hole was won by Dale Rabbett; at the shorter 6th and 15th holes it was Gai Falla and Trevor Sharp with the best tee shots.
The semi-finals of the Radford Webb Match Play saw Derek Wand and Gai Falla qualify for the finals.
On Tuesday 5 August the Gloucester veterans play an Individual Stableford sponsored by Rod Burrows and the following week Gai and Greg Fall sponsor a Four Ball Better Ball Aggregate event.
