Captain Wins at Burnham, Again!
For the second time in a row, the PGS captain took the honours at Burnham. As last year, Nev Appleton proved that the weight of captaincy does not need to weigh heavy on the skipper’s slim shoulders by scoring an impressive 40 points to land the News of the World Trophy.
Last year’s skipper, Jamie Weir, also won at Burnham Beeches Golf Club, but not as impressively as Nev, who carded five birdies powering to his victory.
Hugh Whittow took the Div 2 honours with 32 points, one shot ahead of Ben Todd on count back. Second in Div 1 was Oli McCormack, again on count back.
