Seniors Championship

A beautifully manicured course provided a tough challenge for the competitors in the County Seniors Championship. With a strong field that included all the County team players, it promised to be a close contest. The early leader in the clubhouse came from the first group with Danny Dowell from Windwhistle shooting 77. However this did not survive in the lead for long with home player Bruce Chadwick, playing off 8, posting an excellent 72. With the lower handicap players in the later groups, patience was the key as Bruce waited anxiously for the scores to come in. Former Taunton & Pickeridge member John Smith was expected to do well and did not disappoint with a 75 but no one in the final group could challenge the 72 and Bruce was duly presented with the Seniors Championship Trophy. John Smith was runner-up with Danny Dowell 3rd and Will Rowlinson from Clevedon in 4th place with a 78.

The Millenium Salver for the net prize was won by Peter Horlock from Clevedon with a net 69 beating Enmore Park's Bob Kippen on countback.
