Astbury Teams rise to the top at Astbury Men's AM AM. (Apology no pictures available)
July 11th saw Astbury open its metaphorical
doors for visitors in one of the season's most
popular events - The Astbury Open AM AM. Not the
most catchy title it's true but those in the
"know" realise that this means a competition for
teams of 4 players aiming to combine their best
2 scores on a hole by hole basis. As with past
years this competition drew in a large field
mixing Astbury members with players from far and
wide - over 200 players taking part. The prize
list is extensive and valuable for this
competition, this year going down to 10th place,
and while no longer featuring the more
quirky electrical white goods and pottery
related prizes of the past, the prize table is
loaded and one that many are keen to be a part
of. Previously, in a scene akin to post
earthquake looting, it always brought a smile to
see each winning team member leaving Astbury
pondering how to make their way home with a set
of golf clubs, 3 piece suits, a Microwave and 32
piece dinner service under their arms. One can
only imagine the scene on arrival at home.
On a good albeit blustery day for golf and a course that was in delightful shape scores were exceptional. With a really competitive field the result was always going to be high scoring and tight. And so it proved :-
Winning the event and to much delight 2 Astbury
teams took the first spots with Astbury Captain
Peter Bozon's team just pipping the team lead by
Steve Kellam. In 3rd place and illustrating the
pull of the event were a team from the "dark
north" of the area. A great day and much enjoyed
by all who entered, well organised by Dave
Westrup and a solid booking for next year.
