Young gun Bryan takes Carmarthen Junior title

JAMES Bryan fired a terrific two-round total of 137 to win the Junior Club Championship at Carmarthen in style.

Scores of 67 and 70 gave Bryan the title, a full seven strokes clear of second-placed Tom Hughes, who carded rounds of 69 and 74.

Kieran James was a further five shots adrift in third with a 36-hole total of 149 following rounds of 76 and 73.

There was no doubting who the winner was though and the victory was just reward for Bryan after a consistent season to date has seen his handicap drop from 22 to 14.

Meanwhile, Jamie Dean beat Osian McAvoy to win the red tees event and Rhys Jones overcame Nicholas Evans in the blue tees competition.

The Blenheim Cup attracted another big field and division one honours went the way of David Thomas, who won on countback from Peter Williams after both had scored a net 67. Eirian Evans was third on 73.

Division two was headed by Steffan Griffiths, also with a net 67, with Chris Jones taking second with a round of 70. Eirwyn Roberts was the best of three golfers on 71 to claim third place.

Jimmy Myo won division three courtesy of a net 70, one stroke in front of Tony Hurd and three clear of Kevin Jones. Thomas won the Cup on countback from Williams and Griffiths.

The Ladies Captain’s Day raised more than £300 for charity and produced some good scores on the course too. Elin Jones won division one an excellent 39 points from Ann Morris, who was the best of four golfers on 31.

In division two, Susan Saunders won with 36 points with Sheila Reed-Smith the runner-up on 32 and in the third division, Lowri Thomas produced an amazing round to win with 47 points with Eleanor Goodman second on 38. Olive Lloyd won nearest the pin and Sheila Reed-Smith won nearest the line.

The third and final round of the Seniors W L Davies competition was won by Simon Barratt with 39 points. Keith Howells was runner-up on 38, just edging out Mervyn Lewis over the back nine.

This means Barratt wins the Cup with the best two-round score of 77 points. Mick Fenney (76) and Tim Harries (75) made up the top three.

The Ladies President’s Day saw Ruth James win division one from Edna Morris. Lorna Rice beat Sheila Reed-Smith in division two and Anne Williams beat Brenda Nolan in the third.

Williams won nearest the pin and Ann Morris took nearest the line while £250 was raised for Hearing Dogs for the Deaf.

Members at Southerndown finally had the chance to play golf in some nice weather with the scoring reflecting the fine conditions. Matthew Little carded an excellent 39 points to claim victory in division one of the White Box Stableford. Matthew Rees registered 38 to come a close second.

In division two there were some equally impressive scores as Andrew Finucane sealed victory with 39 points and Jonathan Hughes came second with 38.
