Annual Challenge Salver Match

The 33rd Annual Challenge Salver Match between Wells and Worlebury Golf Club was held this year at Worlebury. The format for the competition was 4BBB. Wells arrived to defend their victory in last year's match.

A strong wind made playing conditions challenging. The competition got underway with Stuart Mann (Wells Club Captain) and Geoff Dyer leading up until the 15th when Worlebury fought back to earn a half. Erica Klim and Bob Lench followed up with a 3&2 win to put Wells into the lead. This was a short lived lead for Wells with defeats for Colin Mantle and 11 year old Freddie Lovell in match 3 and Alan Elkins and John Moxon in match 4.

Past Captains vs. Ladies Past Captains

The Club Past Captains were victorious in this year’s annual match against the Ladies Past Captains. Although a close contest the ladies felt the club Captains should have the honours this year and were gracious in defeat. Philip Slater said ‘We always enjoy this fixture and it means a lot to us to win this year in such a close finish.’
