GOLFERS at Davyhulme Park Golf Club have been paying a heavy penalty for going into captain Rob Todhunter’s nominated bunker over his year of office.

The payment of 50p for each shot into the bunker has added a large portion of the cheque for £1,000 he was able to hand over to the Alzheimer’s Research Trust, which is the leading research charity for dementia and was Todhunter’s chosen charity during his year of office

Park’s men were involved in two competitions, and in a Four-Man Texas Scrambl the fab four of Robin Meadowcroft, Peter Fildes, Geoff Lever and Bill Goddard roared to victory with 44 points.

In a singles Stableford, Charlie McGloin led in with 38 points, one clear of Mannny Obasuke.

Park’s ladies played a 15-hole medal and in-form Ann Kerr was first past the post on 57 from Lynne Niland (58).

In a par competition for Park’s ladies, Norma Goddard was top of the shop with +1, from the level par of Lin Li.

Sale’s men played a singles Stableford and Gary Edwards was out on his own with 40 points, from Paul Herrin and David Parsons (36) and Colin Byrne (35).

Sale ladies enjoyed a five-club competition and Vincente Gleave led in with 33 points, with Linda Jenkinson in the runners-up berth

Ashton-on-Mersey’s men completed the Wood Seddon Trophy with the sixth round being won by T Blease on +4, from B Philips on +3.
