LEEDS & DISTRICT UNION of GOLF CLUBS
Tom Broxup took the early lead with a fine birdie at the first hole and his lead was doubled two holes later. There ensued a close battle, which saw Simon Coumbe (he of the ‘Red Hot’ putter) not only reduce the deficit but gradually turn the tables to take a 2 hole lead at the half-way stage.
After lunch the match continued in similar fashion, this time with Tom reducing the deficit to 1 hole. Simon replied when he birdied the 10th hole for the second time in the day to restore his 2 hole advantage. A good birdie at the 14th saw the biggest lead of the day, Simon 3 up. The match came to a conclusion when Simon holed a 2 foot putt on the 16th to win by 3 up and 2 to play. Congratulations go to both players for a fine display of very good golf.
