Round Norfolk summer golf tour round 11 at Gorleston

The Far East Trophy
Round Norfolk summer golf tour round 11 took place at Gorleston on Tuesday. A small field of just 4 lined up on a blustery day for the day's comp.

The less said about Kevin's round the better (for him) as he introduced shanking to his armoury of wayward drives, fat iorns and yipped putts to have nearly the perfect game.
A rare straight chip from Kevin on the second
With 6 blobs he was never in the running with only a birdie on the 15th making his round worthwhile and just 22 pts.
Kevin misses his par putt on 13
Chris was obviously feeling sorry for him and did well to keep pace on the front 9 as both Frazer's had only 12 points each after 10 holes.
Chris gets things underway and soon finds her first bunker of the day
Her game then picked up with back to back pars before deciding to visit virtually every bunker on the course to finish on a disappointing 26pts.
Chris fails to hit the ball from a tricky bunker on the 10th
Bob was having a typical Bob round with some excellent pars mixed with some not so excellent blobs.
Bob's first attempt to shift the ball on the 6th
No it's not the same photo again but Bobs second go to shift his ball on the 6th
His tactic of just using his 5 wood to drive with meant he kept his ball in play and finished second with 29.

There was only ever going to be one winner once Jo had stormed into an early lead with a par and back to back birdies in the first 4 holes. She ended the front 9 with a big lead on 19 pts.
Great teeshot from Jo on the 4th leads to 2nd of her back to back Birdies
Although she scored less well on the back 9 there were no blobs and her 35 pts were more than enough for her first tour win (and earnings) this year. In fact she could have gone to the bar to get the tea and cake in and not bothered to play the last 3 holes and still would have won.

Next week things hot up as it is the US Open at Thorpeness. With double prize money it could be the opportunity for some one down the money list to make a charge on the road to Sheringham.
