Category Championship

The Category 2,3 and 4 Championships at Worlebury attracted a good field and a bright, sunny day greeted the participants. The course was presented in immaculate condition and the greens proved to be smooth and quick. The threat of rain was ever-present but fortunately held off until virtually the whole field was in with only the last couple of groups catching it.

The early leader in Category 2 was a member of the large entry from Frome but Tony Doman's 79 was soon matched by his club mate Ryan Sainsbury. The lead stood for some time but was eventually overtaken when Windwhistle's Ian Cameron-Taylor came in with 77 to take the title. Stephen Seymour from Burnham & Berrow beat Seamus Ivory from Farrington on countback to claim the nett prize.

Category 3 was closely fought with only one shot separating the first 3 and it was Lee Callow from Farrington with 86 pipping Matthew Wyatt from Entry Hill and Mark Burland from Worlebury who both returned 87, Wyatt taking 2nd place on countback. The nett prizes went to Peter Rumming and Rich Chapman, both from Frome, after both shot 72.

Category 4 players found the going difficult as the wind increased during the afternoon but Brean's Mike Sutton was a clear winner with 94 beating the Frome duo of Andy Alden and Gary Perkins into 2nd and 3rd places respectively. Net prizes were taken by Frome's Gary Butler and John Burns from Wincanton.
