CANTERBURY GC

Canterbury Golf Club champion Josh Bristow showed his class to win Sunday’s Brook Rose Bowl medal competition.

He won with a stunning four under par 67, despite a double bogey on the par four third, from a field of 102.

But the performance of the day came from 15-year-old six handicap Harry Fagg, who shot his best competition round at Canterbury, a level par gross 71, to win the net competition Henry Knight Salver.

Fagg (nett 65) won by a shot from James Shore (h16) and his gross 71 was also good enough for third place in the Brook Rose Bowl.

He said: “I’ve been working hard on my game all through lockdown and everything sort of fell into place.”

He is hoping for a place on the British Junior Golf Tour next year and will play in three of its Order of Merit oneday events in Wales over the August Bank Holiday.

Bristow said: “I’ve come second in this event the last three years so I’m pleased to win it finally. I played solid despite the double at three, when I lost my drive right, into the trees.”

Ann Lake teamed up with the currently unstoppable

Sue Jones to win the Ladies Algarve Vases betterball Stableford competition. A storming 24 points on the front nine, in equally stormy weather plus a steady 18 on the back nine as conditions improved, saw Lake (h19) and Jones (22) finish with 42 points, from a 9/10th handicap allowance.

In second place, one point behind, were Jacquie Mount (h12) and Pauline Nicholls (17). Sue Luke (h15) and Gilliand Soutar (h10) were third.
