There were not one but two big events at Wedmore Golf Club this week with the Seniors holding an Open Stableford and the Ladies an Open Team Bowmaker.
The Seniors attracted mor ethan 150 players with at least half of these visitors from other clubs.
Top prize went to a home player with John Russell taking the Overall winners cup with 40 points.
Jim Vearncombe and Peter Horlock, from Clevedon, matched this score but lost out on countback but very neatly also ensured they won the best home player and best away player prizes.
David Bates took the best 75+ prize with a commendable 38 points.
There was a good spread of prizes at divisional level with Nigel Green from Dorset on 39 winning division 1 ahead of Bill McCallum from Wells and Wedmore’s Nick Parker.
Wedmore took most honours in division 2, won by Clive Warren-Smith on countback from Philip Horn, with Paul Trenchard from Stockwood Vale in third place.
There was a similar result in division 3 with home player Bill Witter winning on 39, one better than Eddie Parlour with Liam Player from Farrington another shot back in third.
There was another good turnout for the Ladies Bowmaker with home players generally making home advantage count.
Allocation of prizes ensured visitors took a fair share of these but top prize went to the Wedmore team of Janet Robson, Prue Witter and Karen Barnett with a score of 84, seven ahead of any other team.
Nearest rivals were Claire Biggs, Jane Hewitt and Alison Dodkin who took best home team prize.
