Seniors AMERICAN GREENSOME & PRESENTATIONS AGM Shotgun Start 14 Holes Result

Seniors American Greensomes (14 Holes)

Forty-six players, plenty of teamwork, and proof that choosing the right partner can be almost as important as finding the fairway.

A superb field of 46 Seniors turned out for the latest American Greensomes competition played over 14 holes. As always with Greensomes, success depended on teamwork, communication, and occasionally pretending not to notice your partner's tee shot disappearing in entirely the wrong direction.

The scoring was exceptionally close, with only three points separating the first five pairs and a countback required to separate two teams tied for fourth place.

🏆 Milburn & Beale Take the Honours

Top spot went to Peter Milburn and Marcus Beale, whose excellent score of 30 points proved enough to secure a well-deserved victory.

The winning pair combined steady scoring with consistent teamwork throughout the round to finish one point clear of the field and collect £18 each.

A fine performance and a worthy winning score in a closely fought competition.

🥈 Armstrong & Bull Close Behind

Second place went to Drew Armstrong and Dave Bull, who returned an excellent 29 points.

Just one point separated them from the winners, showing how little margin there was for error over the 14-hole format. Their efforts earned them £16 each.

🥉 Douglas & Wilson Complete the Podium

Third place was claimed by Paul Douglas and Steve Wilson with 28 points.

A solid round throughout kept them firmly in contention and secured the final podium position, along with £14 each.

🏅 Countback Required for Fourth Place

The battle for fourth and fifth places proved particularly tight, with both pairs finishing on 27 points.

Andy Hunt and Jeremy Hill secured fourth place thanks to a stronger finish, recording a back five score of 11. That earned them £12 each.

Agonisingly close behind were Phil Hudson and Graham Pretty, whose back five score of 10 left them in fifth place despite matching the overall score. They received £10 each.

It is further evidence that every point counts, especially on the closing holes.

🎟️ Card Draw Winners

A little extra luck went to four players in the card draw, each receiving £5:

• Terry Unwin
• Matt Lavelle
• Stu Newland
• John Hopwood

For some, it was a welcome consolation. For others, it was probably the most accurate thing they managed all day.

💷 Prize Fund Summary

The excellent turnout generated:

• 46 players
• Entry fees collected: £161
• Prizes paid out: £160
• Retained for Seniors Funds: £1

Once again, the Treasurer was delighted to discover that the figures balanced almost perfectly.
