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."
