The penultimate men's competition of the season, the 'Barron Rosebowl' was held at Bradley Hall on Saturday 10 September 2011 when 64 pairs of golfers participated in the better ball event. Despite grey skies for the early starters, the temperatures were quite high and with a course in perfect condition and immaculate greens, low scoring became the order of the day.
Starting at 7am, Peter Olson (11) and Glenn Layfield (18) partnered Nicky Lodge (9) and Peter Mason (7) and both pairs returned identical nett scores of 62, the latter having the better back nine. Despite the clouds clearing and blue skies from mid morning, those scores could not be beaten although gallant attempts were made by Alex Foster (14) and his partner, Glen Dutton (12) and Peter Speeding (10) and Mark Dyson (15) with nett 63's.
Such was the scoring that over 50% of the field finished with sub par rounds.
A rare event occurred on the par 4, stroke 1 seventh hole when Andy Appleyard (3) holed his second shot.
