MATTHEW Bailey, a 12-year-old junior at Royston Golf Club, hit a fantastic hole-in-one last week.
He sank the dream tee-shot while playing with his father, Neil, on the 146-yard sixth hole at Royston. “I’m even getting beaten by my youngest son now,” complained Mr Bailey.
Meanwhile, the senior section played their home match against Beadlow Manor winning by five games to three. Senior captain Rod Kennedy said his playing partner, Bob Lee, played the game of his life dropping only nine shots to beat their pairing on the 12th green.

The Ladies’ Stableford was won by Jenny Jarvis with 35 points off her 10 handicap, followed by Josie Seward with 33 and Carolyn Devaney with 32.
The Saturday Stableford had 30 entrants who watched in awe as John Johnson scored 43 points off his 17 handicap (cut to 15) ahead of Guy Curtis on a very respectable 41 points and Nicholas Sudden on 38 in third place.
