Outram & Lynn clinch Winter win!
The Winter League was concluded last weekend for both the Men's and Ladies' sections. In the Men's section, the four qualifiers had a trip to the Belfry to look forward to, playing the PGA National on the Sunday with the final round being played on the famous Brabazon course on the Monday.
The four qualifiers (Justin Hatcher, Jim Moseley, Steve Lynn, Daryl Prance) all teed off the first day at the PGA National with aspirations on becoming the first Singles winner of the Winter League. The blustery conditions made it difficult for the quartet, but with the rain keeping off, there were respectable scores being posted with Daryl out in front by 3 from Steve Lynn on day one, with a score of 34 points.
The 2nd day was a different story however. With torrential rain and strong winds battering the Brabazon course, it was a day to grind out a result. And in extremely poor conditions, Steve Lynn clawed back the 3 shot deficit and then some, clinching a 5 shot victory over nearest counterparts, Daryl and Justin, who himself was 9 behind going into the final day, but couldn't overcome the consistency and guile of Steve.
But all in all, a fantastic weekend was had and I'm sure with a small tweak to the format, the event will get even stronger heading into 2018. Congratulations to all 4 players who made the finals, and especially to Winter League Champion 2016/17 - Steve Lynn.
In the Ladies Winter League, it has been a Chelsea FC like formality in who was going to win the league. Congratulations Lady Captain, Rita Outram on her dominance of this year's event, to pretty much lead from start to finish, eventually winning by 18 strokes from Runner Up Cynthia Latham!
