Tehidy Park's Alex Simmons and host club Launceston's James Tucknott were the winners of the rescheduled Junior Autumn Meeting last Saturday. The competition had been due to take place at Truro GC a fortnight earlier but a postponement was forced due to inclement weather conditions. Thanks to Launceston's offer to stage the competition took place in warm and predominantly dry sunny conditions over a well presented course which nonetheless did not play easily with damp rough playing a major part.
Consequently the score returned by Tucknott was impressive - a 3 over par gross 73 which included 10 pars and 3 birdies as he went out in level par, but he was pushed all the way by Kai Dingle (St Enodoc) who registered a 74 with his round made up of 14 pars and the one birdie. Two double bogies at the 7th and final holes derailed his bid . Third spot went to Joab Atkins (Trethorne) with a 75.
Simmons took top spot in the girls competition with a gross 79 (+6) her round including 4 birdies. But for a quadruple on the difficult 8th hole her round could have been very special. Second spot was claimed by Mabel Gosling-Brown (Perranporth) with an 88. Erin Williams (Carlyon Bay) was third.
Boys Handicap winner on the day was Bobby Godfrey (St Enodoc) with a nett 72, a score matched by host club junior Edward Walters who only lost out on countback. Oban Robinson (St Enodoc) was third with a nett 74.
CGU Vice President Alan Creber presented the prizes after CGU Secretary Chris Pountney had heartily thanked the host club for their hospitality.
Scores:
Gross - please note there is a 3 shot balancing adjustment in the boys scoring - this is not reflected in respective WHS records which show actual gross scores.
