CHAMPIONSHIPS 2013

The sunny conditions in the morning at Dyke Golf Club did not last long in the afternoon when mist came down and the mens' event was shortened to only 27 holes.

After 27, 2 players in the mens' event (Simon Tiplady of Brighton & Hove and Arwel Roberts of Dyke) were tied on score of 112 ----- a play-off was not possible due to low cloud. In a very sportsmanlike manner Arwel volunteered that Simon should be declared Society Champion due to his better nett score. Well done Arwel, and congratulations to Simon.

The ladies' Section did manage all 36 holes with SOPHIE KENNARD (Dyke GC) winning with score of 159 from Wendy Francis (East Btn).

TOBY GRAVES of East Brighton became 2013 Junior Champion with score over 27 holes of 121 from runner up Heb Bailey (Dyke)on 126.

The men's Team trophy went to the Dyke Squad of Arwel Roberts, Jason Turner, Paul Plant and Neil Mason (461) from Brighton and Hove in 2nd place (482).
