CHRIS Clarke turned in the only round of the day at handicap to win the Gloucester Veteran Golfers outing on Tuesday, 25 March in heavy conditions after recent and overnight rain, not to mention some on the day.

The event was an Individual Stroke with a Putting competition in conjunction and sponsored by Julie and Steve Kriss. The winner with a net round of 72 was Chris Clarke.

Ball winners were Denver Webb 73, Paul Griffiths 74, Peter McIntyre and Ken Kelly 75, and Peter Buettel and Trevor Sharp 76.

Paul Griffiths was the top putter on the day with a very low putting count of 26.

The Nearest-to-the-Pin trophy at the 4th and 13th holes was won by Trevor Sharp and Tony Burnet did the job at the 6th and 15th holes.

On Tuesday 1 April the Gloucester Veteran Golfers were due to play an Individual Stableford sponsored by Jim Spencer.

The following Tuesday, 8 April, there will be a Four Ball Better Ball Multiplier event sponsored by Sally and John Higgins.
