County Seniors' Championship

Neath Friday August 15th.

Following the week;s rainfall the Neath green-keeping staff did a magnificent job in preparing the course for the Championship and Ian Henderson (Wenvoe Castle) took advantage of the "younger man's" conditions to take the Championship with a fine 77 over a course that was playing its full length (and then some). Nick Caulfield completed a Wenvoe double, his 78 just failing to match his clubmates score. The back 3 had to be used to split 3rd and 4th with Clive Blacker (Pontypridd) just edging out Tony Disley (Royal Porthcawl), both returning 80. That the CSS was 74 (SSS+2) shows the difficulty players had on the day.

Cardiff's Peter Allen with a superb 81 nett 71 was the omly player in red figures for the day and took the nett prize with Henderson second, Caulfield third and Blacker fourth.

The CSS was SSS+2 ie 74
