TENBY Golf Club hosted their friends from Langland Bay on Saturday.

It was very windy but dry and the famous links were in an excellent overall condition.

Tenby had visited The Gower a few months ago when they lost the match narrowly by 4.5 games to 3.5.

First out for Tenby were captain Mick Seal and Paul Northam.

They were defeated by Langland’s vice captain David Sparks and Steve Bond.

Neil Thomas and Richard Ormond also lost to Blair Thomas and Owen Price.

Phil Young and Austin Davies steadied the ship by beating Alex Kamill and Mike Furlong.

Young Jospeh Nand Lal and not so young Phil Goodridge enjoyed an excellent win against Tim Lillicrap and Stuart Henderson.

Martin Morris and Gareth Thomas continued the trend by beating Rory Gallagher and Stuart Bunford.

Nick Allen and Mike Anthony came out on top against Russell Halliday and Tim Hawks.

Rob Hall and Chris Topliss secured another win against Paul Cullen and Paul Wade.

Steve Allen and Ted Buckett came second to Jon Bowen and Owen Cullen.

In the final rubber, Gary McNeilly and Dai Cope were easy winners against Giles Davies and Dean Scott.

Consequently, Tenby won their home leg by six games to three and thus the Steve Bond Cup by 9.5 to 7.5 overall.

Langland members thoroughly enjoyed their weekend in Tenby. They were all very complimentary about the course, the food and the hospitality.

Tenby enjoyed some success at the Wales Golf Finals Week held at Holyhead Golf Club.

The hosts narrowly missed out on one of the most traditional trophies, the foursomes stableford competition, The Australian Spoons, as Holyhead pair Sandra Minnis and Sue Henson were beaten in the final.

The winners for the second-year running were Tenby, albeit with different players, as Heather Buckett and Ann Topliss took the title this time round.

Vale of Llangollen pair Andrew Crowe and Ken Wynn won the Welsh Senior Greensomes, with Tenby providing another pair of finalists in Christopher Topliss and Edward Buck.

“Finals Week is one of the most rewarding of the year, as players from different clubs and levels all come together for the culmination of a series of events,” explained Wales Golf Competitions Manager, Daniel Fullager.

“It is a real celebration for club golfers around Wales with a mixture of elite competition and handicap events, and men and women playing mixed and separate competitions.

Next year’s Finals Week will be September 4-7, hosted by Llandrindod Wells.
