15-year-old Joe Blackwell produced a stunning 63 nett to win the Outlane October Medal and he put it down to the Union coaching which he has been receiving through the junior scheme which they run.
The teenage prospect claimed his victory in style and has now reduced his handicap by 8 shots this season and now his ambition is to get down to single figures and the delighted youngster was thrilled just to be top of the class despite no prize is on offer for this last stroke medal of the year.
Traditionally all the proceeds go to the Royal National Lifeboat Institute Appeal which the club have supported for numerous years. In second place was David Taylor who came close to a win and also had a 63 nett but could not match the storming finish of the youngster.
Keith Johnson produced a 65 nett round to finish third whilst ex Derbyshire cricketer Shaukat Dar also thought he had done enough for his maiden victory with his hat trick of birdies from the 14th but the last two holes set him back in the scoring stakes to finish 66 nett.
