Glen Conquers Cromer
Last week our star man Glen won the Weston Homes plc/Royal Cromer Classic to lift him into contention for a place in the PGA Play-Offs in Turkey in November. Glen shot 72 - 69 (Lvl & -3) which is incredible scoring round a very tough course. Well done to Glen and we all hope he will continue this form through the final two events. Glen had this to say about his win:
"I started three shots behind but reduced the gap with successive birdies at the sixth and seventh holes,"
"I was creating plenty of opportunities but was not putting particularly well. I am looking forward to playing in the final two order of merit events this month."
Glen topped off his victory in the Pro Am at Royal Cromer the following day with a 1 under par 71 to finish Tied 4th 1 shot back of 3 pro's on 2 under.
Laurence was also taking part and his team finished 2nd 1 shot back of the winners on 11 under.
Hudson Trophy
Last Sunday saw Verulam represented by Head Pro Joel playing alongside Eric Keith and newly crowned course record holder Dave Dobinson and Club Champion James Surridge.
36 holes of scratch stroke play foursomes was the format for the day with all scores to count, a formidable format of golf that requires a lot of patience.
A great day was had by all, golf wasn't quite the winner as we didn't feature to near the prizes.
