Our 16-year-old
Juniors’ Vice-Captain, Jonny Ingram, played the rounds of
his life today to become the runner-up in the WHGC Club
Championship. Playing off 5, he shot a gross level-par 70 in
the morning and followed up with a 71 in the afternoon, good
enough for him to win the Nick O’Byrne Trophy (for the best
net score in the Championship) by 4 shots with a fabulous net
131 (9 under par). The photo shows Jonny addressing the
Members following his success.

The
Dockerill's Junior Brighton League (JBL) |
|
The Dockerill's
Junior Brighton League (JBL) is a competition between 9 local
golf clubs. Teams of 6 play at each of the venues throughout
the summer with the best 4 Stableford points scored counting
towards the team total. West Hove’s Juniors won this event in
2007, for the third time in the last 4 years, and have high
hopes of doing well again this year.
The 3rd match this year was played at West Hove and our best 4
scorers were Dan Milligan with 40 points (with a 2 under-par
gross score of 68), Rory Crookshank with
38, Jonny Ingram with 37 and Max Card with 36 (a total of
151). This was a splendid score, but we were pipped by a
strong team from the Dyke who scored 153. They now lead the
table by 27 points (see below).
The match played
at Hollingbury on 14th June was won by the Dyke - their fourth
consecutive win. The hosts, Hollingbury GC, scored 139 and our
3rd place with 134 points was achieved by Jonny Ingram (gross
level par 72 for 41 points), Luke Giles (34 points), Rory
Crookshank (31 points) and Ryan Stafford (28 points).
The West Hove team
won the JBL event at Mid Sussex GC on 7th August with an
aggregate score of 149 points.
Team scores were: Adam Hatcher 40 pts, Luke Giles 40 pts
(Individual winner 0-12 hcp), Ryan Stafford 34 pts, Tom
Coppard 35 pts. |
