The Burnham Cup at Ross-on-Wye May 2010

A chilly start saw 7 groups of 4 balls teeing off for the 9 hole Alliance. Most groups actually read the information written on the cards & scored it as a Stableford except John Raison. Even so, his group managed to come in 2^nd after the correct scoring had been applied. However, he could not compete with the winning group amassing 49 points (Luke Burgess -3 gross & Rob Gregan +1 gross, both off 3) The winning quartet was Luke, Dave Evans, Pinkman & Rob.

The sun came out for the afternoon competition, for The Burnham Cup, which was a cliff-hanger, with 6 players playing better than their handicaps.

Nearest the pin on the tricky 7^th green went to Ralph Holden, and the longest drive on the 14^th, was predictably won by Jack Raison with his tee shot out of sight.

A tie for 4^th & 3^rd place between Roger Dunmore & Ralph Holden, both on 39 points, had to be resolved on the best last 3, Ralph just edging it. 2^nd place (again), with a wonderful score of 40 points off 4, was Rob Gregan.

But the winner for the 2^nd time was James Feeney with 41 points.

Congratulations to James Feeney on winning The Burnham Cup 2010

This means of course that James will be organising next years Burnham Cup
