Round up

Colchester Golf Club lost on the fourth extra hole in the county final of the Youth Shield Scratch Competition against Chelmsford, played at Colne Valley Golf Club over the weekend.

With three of the five matches going into extra holes this was indeed a nail biting final, with the result on a knife-edge until the very last shot of the day.

Playing in handicap order Cai James was out first against Arron Edwards-Hill. James would normally have had four shots from Edwards-Hill but off scratch it was no surprise that he went down 3&2. Dan Nicholls however from being one down on the 14th fought his way back to win on the last hole, one up and evening up the scores.

The next three matches were all halved on the 18th. Under the rules of this competition each game must be finished, so they all went into extra holes.

Harry Hills lost out to a birdie on the first extra hole playing against Bella Jay, so first blood to Chelmsford. Colchester’s Max Maynard got the better of James Holt after Holt carved his ball out of bounds on the second extra hole, match all square again.

Meanwhile Josh Coleman was some two holes in front having a battle royal with Nathan Parrish. They had halved the first three extra holes and with tension mounting with each shot the boys were feeling the pressure. It was on the fourth extra hole that an opportunity appeared, which Parrish slipped through to take the game and the tie for Chelmsford.

An excellent final, with both teams giving their all, the result falling against Colchester by the narrowest of narrow margins.

On Saturday it was Colchester G.C’s finals day! We had 2 big finals which were the Braiswick, the main club handicap competition, and the Victory Cup, which was a qualifier earlier in the year, and then a match play event for the top 16 players from that tournament.

The Braiswick final was being played between Roger Wright (4) and Keith Newnham (5). Roger had beaten OOM winner Richard Withnall in the semi final, whilst Keith had got the better of Peter Holmes in the other semi.

With lots of members heading out to watch, Keith played a fantastic front 9, being only one over par after 10 holes and Roger playing well to be only 1 down at this point. Some solid golf from Roger got them back to ALL SQUARE playing the 17th. Keith hit a great 2nd Shot onto the back of the green. Roger was unable to get his first putt close, meaning he left himself too much to do to make par, leaving Keith a 10 ft putt for the win, which he confidently knocked in to be 1up playing 18.

Down the last, both players found trouble, leaving Roger needing to chip in from just off the back of the green to take it to extra holes. A bold effort but it was not to be, as Keith rolled his 20ft putt down to the hole side to confirm his first Braiswick victory. Congratulations Keith!

In the Victory Cup Final, Multiple club champion Brendon Booth took on the new Essex Veterans Champion Mike Sutton. Brendon played superbly on the front 9 and found himself 2UP approaching the 11th Tee. Mike played superbly through the next few holes, including winning his only shot hole the 15th to go 1 up through 15. Mike won the 16th to go 2 up, before closing the match out on the 17th! This victory ended a great season for Mike Sutton.
