32 selected under 14 boys from Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Bedfordshire played for the Keith Bass Trophy at Dunstable Downs Golf Club on 27th July. The youngsters played 27 holes in the wind and rain and the nett prize was won by Alex Bithrey (South Beds) who finished on 4 under.
The Keith Bass Trophy itself, which is played off scratch, was won by John Withington (Essex) with a gross 112 for 27 holes. For the first time, a team prize was offered for the afternoons scores with the best 3 gross and the best 3 nett scores counting. This was won by the strong Essex team but it certainly motivated the boys, some of whom had had a poor first 9 holes, to continue to try really hard in the afternoon for the sake of their team.
Thank you to Dunstable Downs for the use of their course and facilities which were excellent. |
