To give the "old uns" a chance, AGC introduced the 18-hole Strokeplay, Seniors tournament some years ago for players aged 50 plus. Saturday saw more than 40 golfers vying for the dubious honour of being pushed around the club in a wheelchair to signify the winner's "advanced" years. African & Eastern continued to support the club by donating refreshments for the after match lunch.
Adel Al Gaoud, participating for the first time in this event, continued his superb form to claim first place with nett 64, gross 81 and received a 2 shot handicap cut into the bargain. Colin Drysdale was in 2nd place with nett 66, gross 92; close on his tail in 3rd place was Andy Jopek, nett 67, gross 89 and in 4th place was Ali Danesh with nett 67, gross 81.
Nicky Bailey was nearest the pin on hole 4, for ladies only, while Tim Beynon was nearest the pin on hole 12 for players under 60 and Pete Rogers took the prize for being nearest the pin on hole 14 for anyone over 60.
