Ladbrook Park GC was the venue for the 2016 Championship for the Warwickshire Vets on Monday 27th June. Weather wise there were no problems and all players enjoyed some lovely sunshire during their round.
An excellent turnout for the Championship this year with some 55 players entering the Competition and they were in for a surprise! The course at Ladbrook was in excellent condition and having looked at the stimpmeter reading on the practice putting green, everyone knew that the greens would be quite speedy. What they weren't prepared for however, were the extremely tricky pin positions and in many cases this was the undoing of a reasonable round!! Later the players realised that it had been the Ladbrook Club Championship (36 holes) on the previous day and that the pin positions were particularly for them!
Having said that, there were some good scores recorded but not enough as the CSS increased to 76 and was reduction only - a few sighs of relief.
The list of winners is as follows:
THE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY - Best GROSS of the day - Marilyn FIELDING (Copt Heath GC) 85
Mrs MCAULAY SALVER - Best NETT of the day - Hilary DIXON (Olton GC) 74
Mrs MACKANESS TROPHY - Best GROSS, Division 1 - Bev BELCHER (Olton GC) 88
Miss GRIFFITHS TROPHY - Best GROSS, Division 2 - Sheila ARMSTRONG (Shirley GC) 98
Over 65's TROPHY - Best GROSS - Liz MOVERLEY (Copt Heath GC) 91
Over 65's TROPHY - Best NETT - Pam LEEK (Shirley GC) 75
Well done to all the winners.
