B&H WIN IN DIEPPE
Brighton & Hove entered a team in the Sussex Professional Golf Union's overseas Pro-Am in Dieppe held from the 9th to the 12th June.
Professional Phil Bonsall was joined by Club Captain Mike Davis, Vice Captain Peter Ward, and Dieppe specialist Tom Grogan!
On the opening day wind and rain made scoring difficult, but the team managed a 9 under total to lead by 1 shot. They followed this up with a magnificent 13 under on day 2 which gave them a very strong lead.
Very strong winds on day 3 made the course play very difficult, and the 5 under total for the day represented an excellent effort.
The final result was a 4 shot victory for Brighton & Hove against 14 other Sussex Clubs, and also a local team from Dieppe.
COUNTY CALL UP FOR EMMA!
Congratulations to Emma Gill who has earned a call up to the Sussex Girls Team for Counties Week with some great golf over the last few weeks.
Emma has seen her handicap cut from 10 to 7 with a great spell of golf.
Her run started with a brilliant 73 gross at Brighton & Hove at the end of April, which is the third best score ever recorded by a lady golfer in the Club's 122 year history.
Her great play has continued, and she shot a 71 gross in the first round of the Sussex Girls Championship at Singing Hills on Thursday 28th May.
Emma couldn't quite keep up the same hot standard in the afternoon, but with a 78 gross she finished on 149 for the day, which was good enough for 4th place. Emma also won best am scratch for her morning 71.
Congratulations Emma.
