Tamblin & Bennett land Pairs Betterball
The Herald|July 20, 2024
WITH the Kernow course in tip top condition, the players contesting this year’s Pair’s Betterball competition made hay in the warm and sunny weather.
Tamblin & Bennett land Pairs Betterball

The recent heavy rain had made the greens more receptive and the fairways less fierce and yes, it did reflect in the scoring.

Some 29 pairs took part, with each player receiving 85 per-cent of their handicap, which tested many a player’s mettle.

There were plenty of good scores recorded with early leaders, Phil Macey and Colin Marshall posting 41 points, but that score was soon eclipsed with no less than three teams scoring 42 points and requiring countback to separate them. However, that excellent total did fall as winners Mike Tamblin and Stan Bennett came home with an outstanding 43 points.

It seems that the pair were teamed up at the last moment giving them no time to develop any strategy for playing in true Fossil fashion unlike the other teams, who had chosen their partners.

After the sequence of qualifying comps of late, the Fossils can anticipate a fun day next week but then the following week, a white tee competition for the Veteran’s Trophy.

Will Carslaw and Stan Serwata were runners-up with Guy Pennington and Ian Edwards third and Mike Page and Pete Mehigan fourth.

Although taking part in the trophy competition, two teams also took advantage of the format to play out their first round of the Summer 4BBB Knockout event. Octogenarian John Eccles, and his youthful partner, Brian Pound, met the challenge of Marc Nash and Alec Brannan and walked off with the spoils 4&3.

Alas, their team score did not feature near to the leaderboard. In fact, it was far from it and they even had to concede a better team score to their opponents but match play is a far different beast to a stableford.

ST MELLION LADIES

ALL past captains of St Mellion can enter the Past Captains Trophy, a stableford competition where some ladies play the Nicklaus course over 18 holes or 9 holes on the Kernow course.
