Brunyee takes the helm
Wrexham Golf Club captain’s drive-in coincided nicely with the April medal at Wrexham when the 2009 incumbent Tony Brunyee found the middle of the fairway with his drive to the accompaniment of Bill William’s shotgun.
His three-ball was complimented by past captain Nigel Pritchard and vice-captain Keith Miller and followed by Ray Sambrook, Alan Scarratt and Bill Taylor, the three most recent past captains of the club in the next three-ball.
Winner of the first division was Karl Griffiths with 77-7-70 from Chris Marsden on 73-3-70 and then Phil Thomas with 77-6-71.
The second handicap group went to Andrew Purdy with an excellent score of 74-8-66. He was in turn followed by Huw Lloyd Williams with 82-12-70 and then Wynn Davies with identical numbers but in an order to rank him in third place due to his back nine score.
Colin Jones returned the best net score with a 65 (78 gross off 13 handicap). He has now been adjusted to 11 for his efforts.
Second place went to David Sides with 86-17-69 followed by Dean Mullock with 84-13-71.
Jim Keenan had reason to smile with his win in the fourth division by returning 86-20-66 from Richard Derosa on 94-26-68 and then David Stephan Jones with 90-22-68.
Wednesday’s mid-week medal witnessed a first division win for Stuart Fisher with 77-6-71 from Malcolm Sides on 79-6-73 and then Jason Davies with 78-5-73. Brian Neale won the next group with 76-12-64 followed by Phil Tunnah on 76-10-66 and then Gilbert Hunt with 78-10-68.
The heavily populated third division was won by Stan Roberts with 82-17-68 followed by Paul Wyn Jones on 85-17-68 and then Alan Andrew with his return of 87-17-70.
Tony Jacobs took the honours in the fourth group with his offering of 85-19-66 to beat second placed Steve Elson on 94-25-69 and then Mike Smith with 90-21-69.
