Seniors Club Championships 2016

With the conditions being near perfect for golf, the stage was set for the Seniors to showcase their skills on what was the hottest day of the year, testing ones endurance over 36 holes. The round one clubhouse lead was set by Mike Walsh and Chris Maultby who both shot an impressive 78 (+6), taking the lead in both the gross and nett event. Also worth a notable mention was a fabulous eagle (2) on the challenging dog-leg 7^th on The Park Course from Bryan Burns.

Round two started off with the conditions almost identical to round one with temperatures well into the 30s making it very tough to sustain concentration. These testing conditions seemed to show in the scores with no one managing to break 80 on day two of the Senior Clubs Championships. A fantastic score however came from Terry Kerr who scored a nett 70 (-1) along with Alec Fitton and Robert Mummery shooting their handicaps. A special congratulations must go to Brian Saunders who carded a magnificent hole-in-one on the 8^th hole on The Downs.

The nett champion was a highly contested title with six players being within four shots of the eventual winner. With two very consistent rounds of nett 72, Alec Fitton was the Nett Champion. Moving onto the gross competition with only three shots separating the top three players, a solid final round of 81 gross total of +22 sealed the victory for the Seniors Club Championships - Robert Mummery winning by two shots.
