Saturday saw the first of the two qualifying rounds of the Waller Cup at Bradley Hall Golf Club.
The qualifying rounds are of strokeplay and the first four in divisions 1 (up to 15) and 2 (16 to 28) then go into a matchplay knockout over the season to determine the winners of each division.
Scoring on the day was generally very good, due in no small part to the warm temperatures and an almost windless day and a course that is rapidly drying out following the very wet winter. In addition, the influence of the junior coach, Robert Booth, was reflected in the scores with juniors, Freddy Fox, Tom Smith, Josh Bailes and Andy Hare occupying the first nine places in Division 1.
Leading the field of 167 golfers was Freddy Fox (13) with a nett score of 65, to edge out a former junior of the club, David Ellis (8) by a single shot and by two shots from Ian Hallett (4) and Tom Smith (11). It is the first time Freddy has lead the field and with his determination and no lack of skill it will not be his last.
Other notable scores were recorded by Josh Bailes who lost on a back nine count back for the last qualifying place and Andy Whitworth (+1) who has proved over a long period of time that he can never be ignored with the best gross of 67 (nett 68)
In Division 2, early starter, Tony Wormald returned a nett 70 which held to the last for first place but he was closely challenged by Raymond Roebuck (71), Toby Wood and Gordon Bedford, both returning scores of 72.
