Senior trip to Furness GC.

Gary Rowe, Phil Stazaker, Bob Murray and Paul Davies recently played two days of golf at Furness ‘Old Links’ Golf Course in South Cumbria. Furness is the 6th oldest golf course and 3rd oldest links course in England, having been established in 1872. The second  day was their Senior’s Pairs Open and the pairing of Phil and Bob finished 4th in the Competition, with 40pts, which had more than 80 pairs participating, primarily from the South Cumbria area. It was very windy on both days, but the second day had a constant 24mph westerly ‘breeze’, coming off the Irish Sea, with stronger gusts. The photo shows L to R:  Bob, Stuart (Club Vice Captain), Phil, John (Club President), Gary,  Roy (Club Secretary) Paul and Peter (Club Captain). Many thanks to Furness for a great couple of days and for creating an excellent Competition. A Seniors team from Furness is keen to come to Uttoxeter for an Inter-Club match and hopefully then a reciprocal visit by Uttoxeter Seniors to Furness could also be arranged. Watch the Senior’s Noticeboard.
