Steele Wins Vets Golf

IT WAS another fine and warm day for the Gloucester Veteran Golfers on Tuesday 17 February all of which was good for a narrow win for Chris Steele.

The event, sponsored by Joy and Steve Hurworth, was an Individual Stroke with a putting competition held in conjunction.

The winner was Chris Steele with a one-over-par net score of 73. He was followed by ball winers led by Ken Kelly 74, and followed by Arthur Poynting, Hugh Torode and Carolyn Davies 75, with the last two trophy balls going to Colin Clarke and Tony Burtnet, 76.

The top putter of the day was, once again, Carolyn Davies with 27 putts.

No Veteran golfer hit the green in regulation at the 4th and 13th holes so the only Nearest-to-the-Pin trophy was won by Mark Stone at the 6th and 15th holes.

On Tuesday 24 February the Gloucester Vets were due to play an Individual Stableford sponsored by Anne Wand and next Tuesday 3 March Gloucester Auto Broke and Detailing will sponsor another Individual Stableford.
