LEWIS Craddock hit an incredible round to land Bridport & West Dorset Golf Club men’s September medal on Sunday, which attracted 58 entrants.

Division One winner Craddock came in with an amazing score of 66-4=62 and his handicap is now down to three.

On his card were 10 pars, five birdies (including two twos) and an eagle on the par five 12th.

Not surprisingly, runner-up, Kieran Mulhall could not compete with that score but nevertheless came in with a score that would normally have been the winner, 74-7=67.

Mulhall’s handicap was also cut by one stroke.

Tony Burt topped Division Two with another sub-70 nett score of 69.

Clive Graham and Phil Dowell both came in with a nett 71 to top Division Three with the former winning after countback.

Division One: 1 Lewis Craddock (66-4=620, 2 Kieran Mulhall (74-7=670, 3 (acb) George Brown (82-12=70)

Veterans’ Section

MEMBERS held a medal competition, with the prize being the Roy Thompson Cup.

There were 47 entrants and the winners of the two divisions both scored a nett 69 with Dougie Howells in Division One scoring 89-20=69 to bag the silverware after countback.

Howells was a game of two halves and he started badly with a double bogey and a triple bogey in the first three holes.

He finished the first half with 48 on his card but had a much better second half scoring 41 including three pars and a birdie.

The unlucky man missing out on the cup was Dave Boggis winning Division Two with a score of 92-23=69.

Division One: 1 Dougie Howells (89-20=69), 2 George Brown (83-13=70), 3 Bryan Holmes (87-16=71)

Division Two: 1 Dave Boggis (92-23=69), 2 Peter Davies (95-23=72), 3 (acb) Roger Pollock (96-21=75)

Howells, Brown and Boggis each received a one-shot handicap cut.
