The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
Tydd St Giles Golf Club’s annual Bob Johns Classic Open raised an impressive amount for charity this year.
The four ball team Stableford event was in aid of Cancer Research UK, with sponsor and co-organiser John Leake pleased to announce that £447 was raised on the day.
The winning team was Coveris from Wisbech with 127 points. Their team consisted of Barry Ellis, Matt Houchen, John Forbes and Steve Embleton.
The runners-up came from home team Tydd with 120 points.
Chris Moore, Toby North, Lee Newman and Liz Miller made up that team, but they needed countback to secure second spot.
Nearest the pin (fourth hole) was Ian Larman, while on the eighth hole it was Dennis Savory. The 11th saw Mick Vassall closest, while the nearest on the 16th hole was Baz Smith.
