Grandstand finish sees Southwell claim final honours
The event was a four person Ambrose and as often happens, the scoring was evenly spread and a countback was required to decide the winners.
TWENTY-EIGHT players contested the final event at Charlton on Sunday to mark the end of the golf season.
The event was a four person Ambrose and as often happens, the scoring was evenly spread and a countback was required to decide the winners.
With a net 60 strokes, Anthony and Wendy Hargreaves, Alison Tormey and Jamey Soulsby survived the countback from Benno Catherine, Mark Hamley, Trevor Budds and Jacko Zagame also with a net 60.
The match play knockout final was also played, the contestants being Wayne Southwell and Jeff Cox with the winner taking home the coveted matchplay trophy donated by Roy Postlethwaite.
It was a grandstand finish, all square after 18 holes.
A playoff was called for and it was Wayne who outlasted Jeff on the 19th hole for the win.
Wayne has built a reputation as the playoff specialist having survived a couple of playoffs on his way to the final.
Nearest the pins: 2nd Wayne Southwell, 7th Trevor Budds, 14th B.Byrne.
