Green stars in monthly medal
DUE to recent bad weather, golf has been scarce at Beccles Golf Club in 2010. It therefore delighted members that the monthly medal was able to tee off on Saturday.
DUE to recent bad weather, golf has been scarce at Beccles Golf Club in 2010.
It therefore delighted members that the monthly medal was able to tee off on Saturday.
The lay-off must have had something to do with one of the competitors producing one of the best rounds of golf seen for a long time when Rod Green shot 75-15-60 to win the medal.
His round included two chip-ins for birdies from well off the greens and he at last mastered what had become his nemesis eighth hole.
You may also want to watch:
With only the 18th to play he needed a par four to record the magical score of nett 59 but pressure prevailed and he scored a bogey five, still a superb round of near faultless golf and well deserving his two shot handicap cut!
Mike Webb was also at his best, earning the runner-up spot with 88-23-65 beating Brian Lever on countback (76-11-65).
