The Sidmouth Jeweller’s Friday night league was won this week by David Bater who has recently hit a good run of form, writes John Barnard.

He only won on countback though, as both he and Mike Knight had 39 points, but David had the better back nine. Overall, he went round in 67 gross, 34 on the front nine and a level gross back nine of 33, including two birdies on holes 12 and 17.

Mike was going great guns despite a double bogie on the third, but he finished bogie, birdie bogie to cost himself the win.

Veteran Colin Mitchell was third with 38 points, two ‘blobs’ in the last five holes costing him points.
