Mendip trio sweep the county podium
Frome Standard
|May 15, 2025
The big news this week at Mendip Golf Club concerns the ladies.
-
In the Somerset County Championship, over 36-holes at Long Sutton, Libby Dezis and Aimee Sawyer tied on four-over-par before the former became County Champion after countback.
Ellen Reakes finished third, while last year’s junior captain Connie Cox was fifth and young Maisie Dezis a very creditable 15th. Unsurprisingly, Libby, Sawyer and Reakes won the Holt Shield for the best team result.
Back at Mendip, 142 men played in the Burnell Cup which saw a win for Lee Callow with 42 points. Richard Barker claimed Division One with 38, one ahead of Tom Chapman who beat Charlie Pike and Richard Jeffery on countback.
Division Two went to Brian Rawlings with 42, again one better than Jack Harrington with Kevin Brimble a further point back in third. Long-standing member Clive Down took Division Three with 41, two in front of Sam Thatcher with Simon Kidd third on 38.
The ladies' County Qualifier saw 53 compete. The overall winner was Pauline Williams with a magnificent 43 points.
