Dorset County

Dorset took on a very strong Wiltshire team at Rushmore Golf Club in what would prove to be a tough contest.

Wiltshire, the 2022 South West Champions were looking good on the range before the foursomes but so were the youthful Dorset boys. The morning got off to a difficult start with 3 of the 4 matches going down early with just Taylor Vizard and Will Marshall leading their match after the opening holes. Zach Jelley and Finlay Harvey would eventually pull their game around to half their match. Taylor and Will went on to win 1 up leaving the Dorset boys trailing 2.5 – 1.5 after the morning.

And so, onto the singles. Wiltshire’s combined handicap was 42 shots lower than Dorset’s so the lads were going to need to be on top form to win matches. The afternoon did prove to be a difficult test but many of the lads were holding their own and playing some great golf. Unfortunately, in the end we were defeated 6.5 – 1.5 in the singles. Four lads lost the 18^th hole to either half or lose their match so it was a certainly closer than the score suggests.

It was a stern test but lots of experience was gained. We now have a little wait until our next game against Devon in August.
