Gents Open 2018

With calm conditions early morning and a freshening wind around noon, it's fair to say the early morning starters got the easier end of the draw - and the scoring certainly reflected that!

95 golfers competed and feedback on the golf course was very positive. Full credit to Craig Drummond and his dedicated team.

The best net score and the title of "Gents Open Champion" went to Gavin Gough (pictured) from Cawder Golf Club with a superb 70 - 4 = 66 net
