Wells vs Bristol & Clifton
Wells GC played bottom of the table Bristol & Clifton recently in the Bristol & District League. Wells travelled up with an atrocious weather forecast in place. Fortunately, the weather was like the course, wonderful. The greens were excellent and the sun shone most of the afternoon. Baden Wilkinson and Mike Vincent paired up or the first time and had a tough match, going down 5&4. Late replacement Sam Todd joined father Alan in the second match and holed a monster putt on the eighteenth to win 1up. Will Thompson and Bill McCullom made hard work of it but eventually won 1up. Ian Burr and Glen Crocker played very well, particularly putting their opponents off the course in winning 5&3. Finally, Tim Harris and Nick Wilson completed the mob with a comfortable 5&3 victory. Wells won 4-1 and moved up into second place in the league. They do however, have to play the first and third teams in their remaining two fixtures. |
