The flags at the Bedford were in some challenging positions for this year's Boys' championships but they were not too tough for our new Boys Champion, Jack Manley (Beds and County). Jack's performance in the U16 category, and playing off a handicap of 5 to finish 1 over par (143) after 36 holes was excellent. Well done Jack an excellent performance to finish -9 Nett. Anther notable performer was Will Glenister (The Millbrook) who finished on 147 (5 over) playing off 10 to finish Nett -15 and second in the U16 category behind Jack.
In the U18 category there was a playoff between Ryan Craig and Joel Gosling who both finished 3 behind Jack on 146. The playoff only lasted one hole with Joel sinking a birdie putt with Ryan's birdie putt just lipping out.
Well done to all the competitors - below are Joel (left) and Ryan teeing off for the playoff.
