Norfolk PGA Pro-Ams

Ok next on to my golf and I managed to pick up a little bit of pocket money thanks to a nice fourth place finish in the latest Norfolk PGA Pro-Am at Sprowston Manor last Friday. The round wasn’t without its adventures though including me having my shoes and socks off to play a shot out of a water hazard at one point but all in all, with the course playing long and the greens not quite up to there usual standards, I played pretty solid and managed to shoot a 74. My team consisting of Keith Ridsdale, Andy Woodrow and Greg Carter did well, but couldn’t quite get the putts to drop and finished with a 2-under-par total in the best two from four on every hole format. Thanks gents for your support out on the course and for your company all day! Next up Kings Lynn next Friday with Captain Stuart Low, Neil Youngs and Mark Everard.
