Stoke Rochford Golf Club: Top week for seniors Phil and Ken

Playing a best two-from-three stableford, the course was a test for most and generally scores were on the low side.

Roger Nicholls, Glyn Staines and Don Werner took third place with 76 points.

Nearest-the-pin on the eighth hole was Keith Eldred, and the longest drive prize, on the 11th, went to Mike Graves.

Captain Cliff Mills presented the prizes.

A group of four players were next with 34 points, headed by Ken Taylor who took third place on countback.

It completed a good week for Phil and Ken who were also in the winning team in the Captain’s Away Day.
