A first for the society with a visit to the excellent Nailcote Hall Par 3 Course for a special Charity Event.

The weather was glorious, the course was in excellent condition and we had a full house of 9 teams of 4.

The teams were made up of NGS Members along with guests, with the best 3 scores out of the 4 counting on each hole.

You might think…Par 3 course….pah…but think again. Each year it hosts the British Par 3 Championship and each hole is a proper miniature golf hole in it’s own right, armed with an array of bunkers, ponds and streams.

The results were:

3rd place Graham Reeves, Dave Reeves, Brian Reeves and Trevor Reeves with 95pts.
2nd place David Board, David Dove, John Dunbar and Pete Jones with 96pts.
Ist place Tony Inskip, Jon Thorne, Mathew Inskip, Dave Hawkes 97pts.

Nearest the pin winners Steve Crosthwaite, Tony Inskip, Tim Scull, Tyrone Power, Mark Bates, John Dunbar, Andrew Bailey, Jon Thorne and Hugh Cobley.

The day raised a fantastic £719 for this years charity : Myton Hospice.
