Saturday the 3rd of May saw the semi finals and final of our Foursomes Championships where the top 4 gross scores face off in an 18 hole match-play format.
In the morning semi finals the number one qualifiers Brad Spaven and David Spaven took on last years Foursomes Champions Bill Guy and Mike Haslett where they maintained their excellent form to win comfortably 7 & 5. The other semi final saw a close match between Billy Cawthorne & Jamie Burt against Andrew Keogh and Anthony Evans where a close match was won 3 & 2 by Billy and Jamie.
After a quick lunch the winners were back on the course in the afternoon to play the final where the father son duo of Brad and David Spaven couldn't find any early rhythm posting multiple bogies through the open holes. Bill and Jamie played solid golf reeling off multiple pars and gaining an early lead which was stretched to +5 at the turn.
Around the back nine the Spaven team managed to find a little bit more of that previous form, winning two of the first 4 holes to get the deficit back to +3. However on the 14th Billy and Jamie made a great par to halve the hole after finding trouble on both their first and second shots and with Brad's drive on the 15th finding trouble down the left Billy and Jamie won the hole to claim the victory 4 & 3.
Congratulations to all finalists who played some excellent golf in the morning and afternoon, despite the cold and at times wet conditions. Also the ground staff are commended for once again having the course in great conditions with the greens in particularly good conditions.
