Golf in Suffolk – Association of Suffolk Golf Captains – Presidents Meeting
Monday 15th July 2019 at Bury St Edmunds Golf Club
There was another brilliant turnout for the Association of Suffolk Golf Captains Presidents meeting at Bury St Edmunds. 76 players enjoy the excellent Bury St Edmunds course at its best in really great condition. There have been major improvements to the course over recent years and we were all lucky enough to enjoy them on Monday.
Not only did the association secretary, Paddy Lockwood organised the attendance of players and guests from all over the eastern region representing all the groups that the Captains play matches against throughout the golfing season, he also ensured that we had the best weather the summer can offer.
The competition was a fourball betterball stableford format and to crown a really great day there were some outstanding scores. Alan Keyte & Keith Ribbans representing Brett Vale came in with 47 points to win the Suffolk Captains prize narrowly beating home players Barry Storey & David Kerswell with 46 points
Hertfordshire Captains, Richard Blanchflower & Eric Diment won the Guests Prize with 44 points.
Champagne moment of the day was Stowmarkets’ Tim Pitt representing the Farmers who won the nearest the pin on the 18th by holing his third shot.
Before the presentations Keith Cresswell was able to present a belated trophy relating to last week’s match v Norfolk. Presented to Norfolk President Terry Pyle
