GOLF: Gedney Hill pair are off to Dubai

David Lord and Rob Newns won their dream trip after qualifying from the southern regional final of the League to Dubai golf competition held at the Tudor Park Marriott Hotel and Country Club in Maidstone, Kent.

Reaching the Dubai final, which takes place in March 2017, more than made up for the pair missing out on an all-expenses paid trip to Morocco.

Business owner Lord (67), a 15-handicapper from Spalding, and 67 year-old civil servant Rob Newns from Wisbech, who plays off 13, also reached the regional final of the Morocco Matchplay competition.

That took place at Slaley Hall in Northumberland earlier this month but the local pair missed out on a trip to February’s grand final in Marrakech with their score of 32 points.

At Greetham Valley, junior Winston Childs won his first senior club competition when taking the honours in the final midweek stableford competition of the year with a fine score of 32 points.
