Norman nicks top prize with a stunning round

There was no snow, no rain and no wind. Spring had arrived! Hip, Hip, Hurrah!

To add to the excitement, this 14 holes sweep was played “over the hill” for the first time this year. It was all good.

And the scoring was phenomenal.

Norman Robb, a better than average 20-handicapper, went round in only five over par for a winning score of 39 points. This was Norman’s second win this year.

Jim Cochrane was level par for his round and he won the low section.

Jonathan Ward was three under par to win the best gross.

When you see Jonathan Burns out playing, it’s a sure sign that the real golf season is about to start. Jonathan doesn’t play golf during the winter. But, come the middle of March, he picks up his clubs, goes out and plays 14 holes in three under par. How does he do it?
