CAVERSHAM Heath lady member Jane Weller has retained the Ann Bryant Knock-out Cup – a scratch single knock-out competition organised by Berkshire County Ladies Golf Association (BCLGA).

Weller beat fellow club member Kjersti Cannon 2&1 in the final at Newbury & Crookham GC last Friday. It was the fourth time she has won this trophy, having won it in 2013 and 2014. Cannon herself is also a previous winner, taking the honours in 2015.

• Wokefield

RICHARD Maynard celebrated his first-ever hole-in-one at Wokefield Park recently.

Maynard, 65, recorded a memorable ace on the tough, par three 12th during September’s Monthly Medal.

Playing off the back tees, the 19-handicapper saw his accurate tee-shot on the 195-yard hole sail over water in front of the green before dropping in the hole.

He recalled: “The wind was up so I hit my driver, which caused a few laughs with my playing partners. I connected well, the ball bounced on the green once and went straight in the hole.

“I couldn’t believe it so I refused to celebrate until we’d walked to the green and I’d seen the ball in the hole with my own eyes.”

Unfortunately, Maynard had to settle for 22nd place overall in the mixed competition after carding a nett 82.

The tournament was won by Sally Anne Porter (22hcp) with a nett 70. She finished three shots clear of Andy Morris (15hcp), who beat David Bearman (2) on countback after the pair both carded nett 73s.
