Men's Strokeplay Champions Confirmed
The forecast was for rain on Saturday 24th September for the
4th and final round of the men’s strokeplay championship. The rain came in late
in the morning and really did limit the field to those that needed to play. The
2023 Senior Men’s Strokeplay Champion is Sam Houghton with a 3-round
score of 225. Sam was able to navigate the wet conditions with confidence going
out in 38 and coming home in 36 for a 3 over round of 74. Sam’s score nearly
got away from him with a double bogey 5 on the 11th. However, he followed that
up with 3 straight birdies to steady the ship and claim the title. Richard Gyde
with a 3-round total of 228 had the lead by 2 shots going into the last round
but a 7 over 42 on the front nine put him on the backfoot. Richard put up a
back nine fight coming home in 37 but the damage was done. Scott Gyde
has claimed the 2023 Intermediate Strokeplay title with a 3-round total of 245
which was 1 shot better that Paul Bishop on 246. Paul had a couple of small
putts lip out on the day which were a cruel blow. Dave Bunker secured
the 2023 Junior Strokeplay Title by 5 shots with a 3-round score of 256 over
Kieran Pengelly with 261. Kieran had a great 4th round 82 which brought him
into contention, unfortunately Kieran only managed 3 of the 4 weeks and was
forced to leave a score in the mix, which was not great, being able to play all
4 rounds certainly can be an advantage. The 2023 Limit Championship
which could be described as a great 4th round comeback was claimed
by Clem Fowler with a fantastic final round 87 and 3-round total of 278
to pip Jason Kerr on the day who finished with a 3-round total of 284. A big
thanks to all those players who did participate in this years strokeplay event
and congratulations to our 4 champions.
