In the Worlebury team matches, the first team played hosts to Landsdown and recorded a shared half while the Avalon Team played away at Stockwood Vale and came away with a superb win by 3.5 to 1.5, helped by an excellent hole in one by Lance Myhill on the second hole.

BREAN held the popular Pro's Day and 15 teams were up for the challenge of trying to beat the Pros.

Brean's professionals David Haines and Andrew March were accompanied by club captain Steve Bateman and Roy Baker in a Melody fourball format and they were in perfect harmony as they returned an excellent score of 64 which none of the other teams managed to beat, therefore missing out on claiming a prize from the Pros.

The nearest challengers were the quartet of Tony Groves, Dave Lockwood, John Mardon and Brian Read who had a nett score of 68.1 and as the leading team (excluding the Pros team) they won the Shield.

Roger and Jenny Vaughan, Mats Mattsson and Kevin Davies finished just .1 of a shot behind them in third place.

Jerry Brueford produced the round of the day in the Super Series stableford. He was one of the later starters but posted an excellent 44 points. This was by far the best score on a cold, breezy and often drizzly day and it was also good enough to see his handicap reduced by three shots.

Taking the runners-up spot in Division Two behind Brueford was Mike Porter on 36. Barry Tucker was the leading player in Division One with 39 points which gave him a five-shot cushion over Steve Bateman in second.

The Avalon B team were also in action at Brean as they squared up to a powerful Minehead side in Division Six. Minehead arrived with a formidable line-up packed with low handicap golfers and this was to prove a good selection as they won by 3 games to 2.

The seniors are a force to be reckoned with under the leadership of Dai Wood at home these days and they sent another team home empty handed last week.

It was the first leg of the annual match against Fosseway and they whitewashed them by six games to nil. With the second leg to come later in the year Brean are assured of keeping hold of the trophy they won last year. In the case of an overall tie the previous year's winners keep the silverware so they can even afford a 6-0 defeat at Fosseway and retain the trophy.

Roy Snell produced the outstanding round of the day in the seniors' May Medal and Hall of Fame competition. He carded a nett 69 which pipped Roger Phillips by a single shot. Snell, much to the delight of his regular playing partners, received a handicap reduction to 23 after his round.
