Tournament Report
Steve Hunt reports on the 2014 IPA National Golf
Tournament - hosted by 10 Region.
O
n 2 July, excited participants from Regions 1, 6, 10 and 11
descended on the famous Stoke by Nayland Golf Club for the
2014 National Golf Tournament. The venue is situated on the
borders of Essex and Suffolk - not too far from ‘Constable Country’.
After registration there was just enough time for some chat and to
renew old friendships before the day’s play. Golfers teed off on the
Gainsborough course. With near, if not perfect, playing conditions
the first thought for some players was identifying an appropriate
excuse for non perfect play.
The challenging course meant some players were out for a
draining five hours so the sumptuous three course meal at the
venue’s hotel was more than welcome. Following that ‘servo per
ameko’ kicked in with members enjoying a party like atmosphere
until late in the evening.
The following morning, players teed off at just after 1000hrs.
Thankful of being on the less demanding Constable course. The
players set off in even warmer conditions but at least there was a
breeze this time - which was a saving grace. It did mean that I
was kept busy in the ‘water buggy’ - keeping all the thirsty
players well hydrated.
After a cracking lunch, of ham off the bone, egg and chips,
the participants settled down for prize giving by the event
organiser, and Chair of 10 Region, Steve Jennings.
Paul Fenn, 6 Region, the overall event winner, was presented
with the Tournament Trophy. The winning team this year was 6
Region. See the table (right) for the full list of results.
