LEEDS & DISTRICT UNION of GOLF CLUBS
The Union held the Seniors 4 ball better ball Championship at Wike Ridge, with 41 pairs contesting the Bob McLaughlan Trophy. The course was in tip top condition and good scoring was the order of the day despite some mid morning rain. Paul Lavery and Mick Sadler of Temple Newsam posted a score of 45 and it looked as though this would be enough to win the trophy until - as so often happens - a pair from the last group of the day, Dave Finch and John Parker of Normanton, posted a highly impressive 47 points with each player scoring on 9 holes to duly win the Bob McLaughlin Trophy. In third place were Michael Osborn and Steven Hunley from Low Laithes on 44 points.
