Willie wins Salvers event, juniors celebrated at Bedford and County Golf Club
Bedford and County Golf Club’s annual Richardson Christmas Salvers competition was an early shot gun start and saw 65 hardy golfers taking part, facing a wet couple of hours to start their round before the conditions improved slightly.
Despite the weather, some very good stableford scores were returned, with almost 50 per cent of the field scoring 30 points or more.
