30 Jul 2008 - 2008 Surrey Christian Golf Cup

The first Surrey Christian Golf Cup was staged at Sunbury Golf Centre on Sunday 27 July. The event is part of a series of 3 regional competitions with the winners qualifying for the National Christian Golf Cup Final in September. The final winners will enjoy a holiday at the fabulous Spring Harvest Holiday Camp in Le Pas Opton in France .   

Ken Lisney and Alan Cooper from the Vine Church in Sevenoaks came third with a combined stableford score of 71. Dave Holmes and Mark Blythe from Molesey Community Church finished just 1 point behind the winners Mark Davies and Mickey Simmonds, also from MCC who won with 73 points. Mark Davies had the best round of the day, a 2 under par 66, with Lesley Blythe scoring most points with 40.   

Mickey Simmonds won the nearest the pin and Marion Gatland the longest drive. Marion chose accuracy as well as distance as the men just went for distance and crept off the fairway!   

By winning the Surrey Cup, Mark & Mickey will now be able to defend the National Cup that they won last year in the final in Essex . Other Churches are invited to enter the competition next year and should contact Mark Blythe on 020 8979 1452.
