Greetings golfers,

Welcome to another exciting edition to Shrewsbury GC weekly newsletter. Enjoy the read.

Seniors' match

The return match against Arscott Seniors resulted in a 6:4 win for Shrewsbury Seniors. Aggregate score 10:6. The talking point after the match was Duncan Lowndes' near miss hole in one on the 6th. Duncan's ball finished under four inches from the hole. He won the nearest the pin prize but lost the hole to a two nett one. Duncan was giving 19 shots to one of his Arscott opponents who chipped in from 30 feet to win the hole.
