2011 Jewel - Report and Results

Featherstone rises to the top.

 

Tuesday 9th August 2011 was the date for Astbury to stage its most prestigious event of the year, The Astbury Jewel, a round on the Northern Order of Merit tour . In memory of event benefactor Eric Morten this event attracts many of the best north west golfers and is always very well supported and offers an exceptional prize fund. This year was no different with over 60 competitors entered to compete for the trophy and to rise to the best challenge that Astbury could pose them on a blustery day.

 

The Jewel is a 36 hole scratch event and many Astbury members leave their clubs at home and come along as spectators to improve their golf education by watching how it all should be done. This year was no different with some exceptional scores and shot making on display.

 

After the first round Mark Geddis from Prenton was in the lead setting a new course record with a fabulous 66. He lead by 2 shots from Henry Featherstone from Ringway who shot a 68. Frazer McLeod and Jordan Jones lurked on 70. Starting the second round many players were still in it and one way or another were either looking to make a big move or to consolidate on a good start.

 

As it turned out it was consistency that won the day with Henry Featherstone who carded two excellent scores below 70 ( 68+69) to win on 137 and collect the £300 1st prize.  Unfortunately Mark Geddes slightly slipped away with a 72 to finish second on 138. Third place went to a consistent set of scores from Frazer McLeod with a 70 +69 for a 139. Last year's winner Ian Kenwright posted the best score of the second round with a superb 68 and to finish 4th on 140. Jason Timmis 142 and Jordon Jones on 144 finished off the top 6 prize winners. Prize winners below plus full results below.
