Craig Adams (Tall Pines) has won the 2021 County Championship and will go forward to represent the county at the National Champion of Champions Tournament, to be played at Woodhall Spa on September 12th.
Craig has been there or thereabouts so many times and was extremely pleased to have won the coveted trophy.
An opening round of 67 gross gave Craig a 2-shot advantage over Andrew Isaacs (Long Sutton) and 3 from Huxley Howell (Saltford).
In the nett event Neil Holbrook 74 -7- 67 led the way on his home course in the morning, and his good form continued in the afternoon round 75 -7- 68 total 135 winning the overall nett by 5 from fellow Mendip Spring member Adam Jenkinson.
As scoring generally improved as the afternoon progressed it all came down to the final match and the final green. Craig and Andrew were separated by a single shot playing the last and both made par!
With a total of 139 gross Craig secured victory over Andrew who claimed outright runner up by a single shot from Dylan Xanh whose best score of the afternoon, 69 elevated him up the leaderboard to claim the U21 Colts trophy.
