Afternoon Results
Overall Winner
Mike Conroy
Gordon Neilson walked away with the longest drive and Iain More lifted the nearest the pin trophy
Notable Mentions
- After a poor 13 points in the morning a good lunch and a pint of Guinness appeared to do wonders for Mike Conroy's golf in the afternoon - it really is wonderful stuff that Guiness!
- Andy Wraight and Nigel Attwood were the bookies favourites after 9 holes with 22 and 20 points but faded on the back nine with only 10 points each
- Andy also knocked up 2 birdies (gross) and 2 eagles (net)
- Iain More was best on the back nine with 17 points, maybe he relaxed after scoring 10 on the front nine?
