SYO Club Champs

8 December 2001, Burbage North

RESULTS

COMMENTS

On an extremely pleasant December day Rob McPherson produced a run that clearly demonstrated my complete incompetence as a handicapper, winning by nearly two minutes from Clive Wilson and beating his handicap by nearly nine minutes. Mark Sutherland was a further two minutes back in third place as he led home a pack of juniors.

Rob seemed surprisingly sanguine about the implications of his victory (i.e. he has to plan next year's event) and by the time he left the pub planning already seemed to be in an advanced state. It looks like 2002 will be the year that the SYO Club Champs go electronic.

Most of those on the longest course option (both loops) suffered from an over optimistic view of their abilities (Or maybe I forgot to factor in Friday night!) but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and despite my worst fears all the juniors seemed to cope extremely well with their courses (being totally unfamiliar with this level of course I was more than a little worried about being the cause of a further down turn in junior participation).

Apologies to Rob Last who suffered from a map mix-up that caused him some confusion and a significant amount of lost time.

Thank-you to Hilary Bloor for her assistance, particularly with the organization of the meal and the quiz, without her help the event would not have happened. Also thanks to Ruth, Martin, Mike, Andy and Charlie who helped out on the day.
