On Sunday, April 21, the Roger Turley Putter competition was played, the event being organised by Mark Turley in memory of his father, Roger, who sadly died in 2005 and was a former member of Haverhill Golf Club.
The format was individual stableford and, in true Turley tradition, as Roger was renowned for his practical jokes, all competitors had to supply a wrapped novelty present to be given out as prizes at the end of the event.
The winner for 2012 was appropriately Mark Turley with a fantastic score of 44pts. In second place was Trevor Broomfield with 42pts on countback from third place Stuart King also with 42pts.
Mark was presented with the trophy by club captain Steve Ward, who helped organise the event and afterwards Mark thanked everyone for their support and taking part.
Haverhill’s head professional Paul Wilby and PGA professional Ollie Rush took part in the Suffolk PGA vs Suffolk Golf Union (Suffolk Amateurs1st Team) at Rushmere on Sunday, April 22.
The format was foursomes, Hambro scoring with four pairs taking part for each team. It was a closely fought match with the clear advantage resting with the SGU Team after the third match.
However it was the final pairing of Wilby and Rush with their eight-hole victory that saved the day for the professionals, to win overall by just one hole.
