First out lead from the front

The very first tee time out in the Pros 4 Ball Better Ball set the standard for the Outlane Pros Fourball competition and maintained their momentum right to the end to clinch a win in the second division category.

Ian Greenwood and Arthur Dakin were the first to tee off and it was the latter who played his part on the first nine holes with several pars which became birdies due to his shot handicap and a 31 score was registered.

However the second nine belonged to Ian Greenwood who nearly had a hole in one on the 253 yard par four when his tee shot came to rest 2 feet from the hole after nearly going in .The second nine holes were completed in 29 shots which gave them the edge over Michael Hales and Dave Thewlis who also had a 60 but could not beat the winners better back nine score.

Stuart Eastwood and Trevor Pickles were next with a 62 which was also a better back nine than Robert Armitage and father-law Steve Morgan. The First Division also registered a 60 score with a late made up partnership when Ron Hardys usual partner was unable to play but Paul Savage stepped in to partner him and a birdie blitz from him sealed the win.

Kevin Sykes and Steve McNair came second on their own with a 61 and another count back had to sort out Steve Howlett and Ken Robinson with Peter Lawrence Brown and Bryn Jenkinson just losing out with their identical 62 score. The scoring was excellent throughout the Pros competition which is played off the yellow markers hence the low scores.
