Away Day at Ampfield

17 members of the Club were rewarded with fine sunny conditions for their “away-day” at Ampfield Golf Club, nr. Romsey on Tuesday 17 May, courtesy of Alan Sellwood who kindly arranged the visit.
Ampfield is one of the finest par 3 courses in the South of England and it is a great pleasure to play on such a fine but taxing course.
The day’s golf was arranged as a pairs competition with the highest handicap player paired with the lowest handicap player and so on to give some equality to the pairings.
The main competition was won by the pairing of Hector James and Peter Merry who came home with a nett score of 126 beating close rivals Roger Stevens and Lionel Whyton on 128.
