The drought continued meaning both courses were running miles, bouncing everywhere and making ball control very difficult. Nevertheless, there were some excellent scores at both venues. Well done to all players.

Scoring was slightly higher at Mendip Spring GC on Day 1, with two 46's leading the way. Wells' Phil Slater and Paul Griffiths were quietly amazed at their performance. 

Lesley Moore & Lesley Wills (Tickenham GC) had a 45 pts, as did Annette & Clay Poynton (Burnham & Berrow GC).  David Cock & Maurice Maynard (Long Sutton GC) had 44 pts, followed by 7 teams on 43 pts.

Incredibly there were 30 Two's, but two players did not enter. Simon Mills (Ross-on-Wye GC) had 3 Two’s.  Stephen Payne (wells GC) & Mark Williams ( (Burnham & Berrow GC) both had 2 Two’s. The prize was 2 sleeves of ProV1 golf balls. One Two was on the 1st, with a chip and run out of the trees for an eagle. 

Apologies from Mendip Spring GC for the NTP competition.  A breakdown in communication lead to only the ladies NTP being placed.

Day 2 at Wells GC was a cold and overcast day for this summer, with a good breeze.

The winners, for the second time (2022), were Chris & Michelle YOUNG (Mendip GC) with a total of 84 PTS on count back. They had a very good 41 at Mendip Spring but backed it up with an excellent 43 at Wells. 

Phil Slater & Paul Griffiths could not hold on to their first day lead but also finished on 84 but losing on count back.

There were 5 scores of 44, which moved some players well into the prize list.  The top score on countback was Lee Marshman & James Banwell (Wells GC).

There were 27 Two’s.  Again, a high number.  Chris Young (Mendip GC) had 3, Paul Angell (Cumberwell Park GC), Ashton Wylie (Wells GC) & Martin Dalton (Wellingborough GC) all had two. Some players did not enter, so 24 to count.

The results sheets are attached as well as the full results for both days.

Sadly, we did have some issues for which we sought advice. As a result, two teams were disqualified and one team rendered themselves ineligible for a prize. This course of action is about maintaining the integrity of the game.  Our apologies for the delay in publicising the results.
