Seniors Open

Eighteen pairs competed today in the Seniors Open at the racecourse. As well as home players, we were pleased to welcome visitors from 6 other golf clubs who entered this better-ball Stableford event.
Today's winners by a single point were home players Paul Tebbutt & Mike Pritchard who returned an impressive 45pts. Runners-up on 44pts were John Christopher & Colin Tillett (Newbury & Crookham) followed by John Day & Keith Chantrey (Donnington Valley) who just pipped Roy Whiting & Jenny Bell (Newbury & Crookham) on count-back after both teams scored 43pts.

Doug Bell and Tess Chantrey won the longest drives whilst Bob Stevenson, Sandy Deacon and Jenny Bell won the nearest-the-pin prizes.
All the players enjoyed an excellent meal afterwards prepared by the Wessex Club. Many thanks to Roy and Sam Whiting for organising this successful event.
