Colin’s Consistency Captures Cottesmore 

 

After all the recent rain we had been suffering it was a relief to arrive at Cottesmore to clear skies and a warm smile from the staff serving the coffee & bacon rolls. With the August ACGA event notorious for a low turn out it was one of the ‘easier’ chances to win a coveted ACGA major. Just 28 other members and 36 holes of glorious West Sussex parkland golf standing between immortality and mediocrity. Unfortunately for me it was another case of mediocrity. For Colin Parson it was a 2nd Major in 2 years as he headed a top 3 of ACGA newcomers.

 

It was a pleasure to have Tyrone Carter back in the field after an absence of over a year. Luckily for the rest of us he played as a guest or he would certainly have added to his collection of golfing trophies. Cora Edwards has now completed her two events as a guest and I look forward to welcoming her as a fully paid up ACGA Member when we next get together at Meon Valley.

Russell Joseph was the clubhouse leader with 37 points after the morning round. Following closely behind on 36 points were Colin Parson and Stuart Austrie.  With Sedwick Gordon, Malcolm O’Garro, Steve Garner and Keith Murray all within a few points there was everything still to play for. The big question was could Russell repeat his heroics of the morning ?

 

The final positioning had started to take shape with a bunch of players on a total of 64 all hoping and praying it was enough to secure some silverware. Dean Witter was fortunate enough to pick up 5th place with 64 pts on count-back with a solid 35 points in the afternoon. In 4th place on 66 pts was Stuart  (36 + 30).  The top 3 spots were dominated by relative newcomers to the ACGA, all of whom have won majors in the last 12 months and all feature very prominently on the Order or Merit table. On this occasion top spot goes to Colin Parsons with a very commendable 72 points (36 + 36), Colin is a fantastic golfer, very gracious in victory, paying tributes to his playing partners and full of admiration for the achievements of the ACGA.
