A FULL field of golfers competed in teams of three at Saturday’s captain’s day at Burnham and Berrow Golf Club.

Two scores counted on each hole and all scores counted on the par threes.

The course was presented to championship standard with the Tillman Trophy – featuring the top amateur golfers in the country - only three weeks away.

The steady breeze helped on the front nine holes but played havoc on the back nine.

Nick Fuller, Martyn Milverton and John Whitcutt won with a fine score of 80 points, just one ahead of runners up Peter Amos, Gordon Copley and Peter Sealey.

The longest drive at the 11th was achieved by Peter Yensen with Tony Charalambous the nearest to the pin on hole 17.

The winning ladies team of Liz Blight, Jane Harries and Jackie Richards scored 74 points with Liz hitting the longest drive and Jane the most accurate tee shot on 17.
