The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
A clutch of young Spalding Golf Club members had a day to remember at the LUGC Jennings and Peggotty Trophies event at Lincoln.
Jake Lilley was the boys’ nett winner, while Eden Inglis took the same prize in the girls’ competition.
Fellow Spalding ace Lois Williamson was the girls’ gross winner, while team-mate Tilly Kedzlie narrowly missed out on a prize.
Ladies’ section: The May Medal competition was sponsored by Hills Department Store for the 20th year. All medal and raffle prizes were donated by Hills and were extra special this year.
The competition attracted 45 entries despite the cold and windy conditions.
Prizes were awarded in three separate categories, plus an overall winner – who this year was Wendy Revill with a nett 71.
May Medal results: Cat 1 (0 to 20 handicap) – 1st Paula Brown net 77; 2nd Elaine Hancock 78; 3rd Angela Roper 78.
