More Arcot representation and success! The Race to Woodhall Spa is a competition that every member is already a part of without knowing. The most improved handicap from each section over the year is asked to represent the club within the region with the leading players then playing the national finals at Woodhall Spa. Playing at an absolutely glorious Foxton today were Richard Baxter and Ang Friel. A very respectable 33 points from Richard on his first time playing there earned a 10th place finish. Ang however has trumped him with her 39 points and finishing in 5th place (despite an outrageous 57 points winning!) this has earned her a spot at the national finals at Woodhall Spa!! Congratulations Ang and best of luck for the final. Finishing in the top 5 would earn her a trip to Portugal.
Congratulations to men’s team player Andy Ross, for taking victory in the Fenwick Smith Trophy county event on Saturday 10th August at Gosforth Golf Club.
The golf was, for the first time, decided by play off, after Andy Ross and Phil Ridden of the City of Newcastle tied on a one under par 68. After 2 pars on the first, it was Andy who had 2 putts to win after a bogey from Phil- however 1 putt was enough for a birdie 3 and the victory.
Congratulations to Jim Rutherford on winning the Northumberland Golf Union North and South Trophy at Goswick Golf Club on Saturday 30/04/22
