RAFGS Midland Meeting - Coxmoor Golf Club 5 August 26

This year we trialled a new format for the Midland Meeting at Coxmoor, replacing the previous team event in groups of four with a Pairs Better Ball Stableford competition. 29 members and one guest took part on another warm but breezy day, with firm, fast-running fairways and Coxmoor's usual excellent greens. 

Nearest the pin prizes were awarded on four of the Par 3s, with the winners each receiving a sleeve of balls: Graham Pearson (2nd), Alan Mathers (7th), Phil Gough (10th), Mick Ford (17th).

Scoring was generally good under the better-ball format, with only one group scoring less than 30 points and only 8 points separating the winners from the group in 14th place. David Taylor and his guest, Roger Leighton, took 3rd place on countback, with 38 points, Mick Roche and Ian Wood were 2nd on 39 points and the winners were Phil Gough, making full use of his home club advantage, and new member Ian Barclay, on 40 points.

The team at Coxmoor again looked after us very well and we look forward to returning for next year's meeting, which will be on Wednesday 4th August.
