Kevin McArthur has finished the winter golf season in style by winning both Rolies Winter Knockout and the Daily Mail Foursomes by the same 3 & 2 margins.
In the final of the Winter Knockout, Kevin and his playing partner Kevin Garrett were in a tight match against Jim Whitehead & Steve Orchard when he hit the perfect 4 iron to the 15th hole, pitching it 6 inches past the hole and the ball spinning back into the cup. They then secured the match on the 16th.
The previous week Kevin & Keith Wright had played in the final of the Daily Mail Foursomes against David Cooke & Paul Gardner. Kevin & Keith seemed to be cruising to victory, taking a 4 hole lead by the turn, but Paul & David had reduced the deficit to only 2 by the 16th hole. However a very good par from Keith & Kevin proved enough to secure the victory.
Keith Wright kept up his run of good form with a gross 1 under par 68 for 42 points in the Sunday Stableford. This won him the 1st Division by 3 points from Ryan Harmer. Both players have now seen their handicap cut to 4
In the 2nd Division Richard Couse won with 40 points, John Griffiths was 2nd on 37 points & Geoff Smith took 3rd spot with 36, on count back from John Riddelsdell
Division 1: 1st Keith Wright - 42 pts 2nd Ryan Harmer - 39 pts 3rd Chris Miles - 38 pts
