The Spring Scratch Medal and Chairman’s Bowl were contested over 36 holes across the weekend, with The Garden & The Church hosting Saturday’s round in breezy conditions, followed by a calmer and more favourable Sunday on The Church & The Mill.

Spring Scratch

Sunday saw the leaders grouped together, and it quickly became a two-man battle between Andrew and Neil.
