Long time member
of the DWT Robin White was on hand to collect
the cheque from the players. He was very grateful
for the fundraising work put in and was very
interested in the golf too!

(scroll down for all placings)
Open winner
- Jester Wilson
Am Winner - Jon Turner
Round 1 -
Modern 18
In the tournament Oz, Gwyn and Richard started
off with solid 60s a piece, narrowly pipped
by Jester's 57. However, Jester did have to
use all 3 of his Mulligans to achieve this!
Fernando 'Rocky'
Brown shot a respectable 63 in his first visit
to Whitcombe, but it is expected this will
come down a few strokes at the Frostbreaker!
Visitor to the
UK, American Jeff Lambert shot a great 65
to lead the Ams. An excellent round, he's
only been playing for 6 months!
Wife of Dan,
Kate Massey was out playing at Whitcombe.
Hopefully she will become a regular in the
women's division on Tour 2004!
Round 2 -
Modern 12
Matt Pike
and Jon Turner shot great scores, 40 and 41
respectively. This was the same as Oz (40)
and Jester (41) showing how the gap between
Open and Am
players is ever shortening.
With his last
drive of the day, Jon Turner pinched the CTP
Billy Ault was holding parking pin point drive
on the 115y/105m hole 14 Bunny Heaven. Your
keys, Sir!

2 Jon Turner 116
3 Andy Freeman 118
4 Stu Brompton 122
Round 3 -
Ancient 18
Richard Sampson didn't start teh round
due to a pulled muscle - that'll teach him
for not warming up properly. Fernanado started
to get into his stride with a 59 as Matt continued
to impress with another solid 60 putting him
two up on Gwyn (those of you familiar with
'Pike's Syndrome' will realise how significant
this is!).
In the Ams Jon
T picked up 7 shots on Jeff as they shot 70
and 63 respectively. This gave Jon T a 6 shot
lead going into the final 12.
Billy Ault pulled
out a cracking drive on the 131y/119m hole
17 Mind the Bees to win the long range CTP
finishing just 8 feet from the hole! Honourable
mention for Matt Pike's effort which measured
just 4 inches outside of Billy's. Hard luck
Matt!
Round 4 - Ancient 12
With Oz unfortunately unable to stay for
the last round, Jester's lead was fortuitously
opened up from 4 to 9 shots. This may have
contributed to the relaxed 35 the Scot carded
to win the event. Matt hung on to his two
shot lead over Gwyn, both players shooting
39 and finishing 2nd and 3rd respectively.
Are we about to see Pike's Syndrome replaced
by Wilden's Syndrome?!
Jeff made a
worthy comeback 40, but Jon T's 43 was enough
to hold on and win the Ams with Andy Freeman
in 3rd place.
