Round up Adam Harper and Tom Rothery were the winners in Colchester Golf Club’s festive three clubs and a putter competition.
Held in the dark days between Christmas and New Year the weather true to expectation was indeed foul, and a number of the competitors did not complete the course.
This did not worry eight handicappers Harper and Rothery who, using the unique scoring system of a multiple of their Stableford scores, rattled in a score of 60 points to take first spot. Their highlight undoubtedly was on the short par three fourth hole where both had par threes with shots, giving them a total of nine points.
Adjudged second were Mickey Potter (9) and John Redden (7) who returned 56 points on a day with tough conditions for golf. Third placed were Sam Jackson (9) and Arian Masud (8) just the one shot behind them on 55. They also claimed nine points, but on the 17th hole where with each getting par scores, with shots, helped to boost their final score to rise above the pack.
