THE Somerset Seniors` Stableford competition is an annual event which combines individual results - and also a team one, too.

Teams consist of four players and the best three individual Stableford scores are aggregated to make the team score.

The event took place recently at Wedmore Golf Club on a day of varying weather following heavy rain in preceding days.

Despite this the course was in fantastic condition although there was not much rain and the course played very long off the back of the white tees.

The Wells team comprised Glen Crocker, Bill McCollum, Nick Carter and Nick Wilson.They came a very creditable second with 107 Stableford points from the best three scores.

The event was won by Cricket St Thomas with 108. It was definitely a case of what if`s! Bill McCollum did brilliantly to finish 5th overall out of a large field of around 90. Glen Crocker came third best geriatric (over 70). All three scoring players came in the top 20 positions.There were 20 teams competing so this was yet another good result for the Wells club that has traditionally done well in this event.
