Stroke Play Qualifier - Garrett Salver.
The 2018 County Championship got under way at Lyme with the course in fine condition and also showing off its new bunkers. The weather was lovely and it was all set for some good scoring which proved to be the case. Matt Sandy had the best score of the morning with a course equalling 66 two ahead of Didsbury’s Luke Hirst on 68 with Parkstone’s David Cook one behind him on 69. After the morning round we had eight players on par or better.
The afternoon once more saw some good scoring and leading the way was Ferndown’s Harry Mitchell with 68 equalled by David Cook. Luke Hirst had a fine 69 as did Sam Atkins and Andrew Robson. The morning leader Matt could only manage a level par 71 which then meant we had three players tied on 137 with David Cook pipping Luke Hirst on Countback with Matt having to settle for third place.
