Bedford & County golfer wins three club championships in a row

George Garnham has won the Bedford & County Golf Club’s men’s Club Championship for the third consecutive year with a great score of 143. He was followed closely by Jack Manley on 145.

The men’s Handicap Club Champion is Dave Diemer on countback from Grant Elsey, with a another great 36-hole score of 137 .

Bedford & County’s annual mixed open was well supported and the scores, on a very pleasant day, were very good. The winning team were very local – Nicki Reynolds and Ben Sadler from Bedfordshire with 43 points. They narrowly beat Andrew and Alison Stroomer from Mount Pleasant on 42 points. Third were Christine and Andrew Randall from Cainhoe Wood with 41 points.

Despite the blustery wet conditions 33 intrepid senior men managed to complete their rounds in this rescheduled senior men’s competition. And with a winning score of 39 points Michael Duggan won Ruming Cup.

The places were close fought battles with second place taken by Andy Warner with 37 points on c/b, from, in third place, Mick Vorley.

There was only one two scored on the day and this was also by Michael Duggan – a great, and profitable, day all round for Michael!
