Golf Squad bring back trophies from the ISGA 'The Shire' tournament 29th June 2009

Yesterday, 29th June, Sherborne's Golf Squad achieved great success at The Shire Trophy organised by the Independent Schools' Golf Association.

Here, Mark Pryor, Master in Charge of Golf, reports:

"The opening hole was 154 yards to an island green – this set the tone for the round on a course where there was PLENTY of water.

Robbie Busher (L6a) carded a gross 73 (nett 69). He was 1 under gross on the 17th tee but a double bogey on this par three just tipped him the other side of par. He holed a good 6 footer for par on 18.

Zaidoon Zakaria (U6f)scored 83 (nett 73) and Lewis Hinch (U6d) 89 (nett 74). This gave us a nett total (best two to count) of 142, winning on countback.

Robbie got the third lowest gross total (in a field of over 90); the best shooting a one-under 71.

So, trophy (and Galvin Green top) for Robbie and team trophy (to be delivered, Claire’s Court left it behind) along with individual trophies for the team….oh, and I won the best nett on their academy course (35, nett 28).

The boys were really good value and gave an EXCELLENT account for themselves as golfers."
