This British Open was again part of the Eurotour and we had a
record field of competitors with our largest ever contingent of
overseas players. Furthest travelled was Rich Hart who flew in
from Minnesota, USA to play the tournament. We also had
players from France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland,
Austria, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden.
The high pay-outs which went down to 12th place were largely
thanks to the generous support of Leah Healthcare who also
provided free chiropractic treatment to players throughout the
tournament - both contributions were greatly appreciated.
Marco Lehousse dominated proceedings with exceptional scores
in the low 50's in the 2nd and 3rd rounds and went into the final
13 shots ahead of Sam Neilson who was clear in 2nd place. With
the title wrapped up Marco took his foot off the accelerator in the
9 hole final and Sam came through strongly to close the gap to 6
shots. Derek Robins pipped Simon Luard on the last hole to take
3rd place.
The random draw doubles on Friday evening was won by Derek
Robins and Jester Wilson. Sam Neilson scored the only ace of
the tournament on hole 13 on the Ancient Course.
The prize ceremony was both joyous and emotional with tribute
being paid to the late Mrs Green who enjoyed seeing disc golfers
visit the farm and appreciate the beautiful surroundings. We are
grateful that she invited us to play our sport in such a special
place.
Derek Robins
