Great result to take forward into the season!
Played on a clear dry day, the greens were exceptional and praised by all taking part, however the recent wet weather had taken its toll and the event was played under preferred lies. With little run, the course played long and scores were high, CSS for both rounds went up 3 strokes, in the morning as Reduction Only.
Russell Ager, Redditch, had the best afternoon round with a 72.
