Henry & Son Claim Crow Nest Cup

Over the weekend of the 29th & 30th August a record number of 65 members competed in the Club Championship at Crow Nest Park Golf Club for the Crow Nest Cup.

Members qualify over the preceding 12 months in order to play in this 'Major' competition which is played over two days and 36 holes on a medal basis.

Last Saturday, the first day of the competition, saw awful weather in the form of high blustery winds and occasional heavy showers. Many members claimed that the conditions were the toughest they had ever known at the Hove Edge course.

However, Mark Campbell defied the conditions and shot a level gross 70 for a jaw dropping nett 62 to lead by five shots overnight. The cut coming at +7 which was the highest mark in the history of this competition.

The Sunday dawned with relatively calm conditions and the weather almost balmy at 18 degrees. As Campbell moved backwards during the second round, out of the pack came Martin Henry, who had his son Scott on his bag as caddy for both days - both pictured above with The Crow Nest Cup. Having played the opening nine holes in level par he manged to maintained his lead right to the last where he had the luxury of winning despite a four putt on the final green!

In second place was Steve Smith a stroke back with Richard Crossley coming third.

Results:
Winner: Martin Henry ( - 4 )
Runner up: Steve Smith ( - 3 )
3rd: Richard Crossley ( - 2 )
