Board Competition Reports #Saturday 7th September 2019

George Sainthouse shoots a superb net 66 to beat 38 rivals and take the Seniors Trophy with the excellent Richard Paulson 2 shots back in second . Third-placed noted ball-striker Brian Southworth had the angst of capitulating on the benign 16th after being in a dominant position with just 3 holes left with fellow golfing stylist Andy Miehe taking the minor place with a solid display .... meanwhile ‘down’ the field the lack of a Presidential signature costs him over 30 places whilst another former Captain suffers a similar fate for the same omission .

Former Secretary and oldest competitor Matt Goodall wins the inaugural Dave Barton Shield from the front ,playing especially well on the front 9 and regrouping well after an Amen Corner stumble to ease to victory with Luke Dunlop a strong second but crucially never quite getting on equal terms . Improving duo Nick Lewis and Stuart Mason filled the minor places without setting the world alight and several shots behind whilst collectively our select 14 strong ‘young guns’ did not in any way come to terms with the back 9 today with curiously NONE of them playing it better than handicap .
