Parker Hart

Unbelievable weather again for the Parker Hart competition today, a little misty at first but beautiful warm sunshine for most of the day. Nine pairings competed in this fourball strokeplay event off 3/4 handicaps.

The winners were Paul Tebbutt & Stuart Briginshaw whose back 9 of 30 was enough to claim the trophy. Runners-up were Dean Butler & John Cooper with a back 9 of 33 followed by Geoff Denner & Sandy Deacon and Jeremy Twaits & Jason Allum.
