A PUTT IS ALL THAT MAKES
THE DIFFERENCE !
Sponsoring Wellingborough Golf Club’s PGA
(Midlands) competition
for the ninth year in a
row, July saw Glazerite
Windows Limited take
part once again in a successful golf day enjoyed
by all.
Won by the team made up
of Peter Clarke, Mark Davis,
Jon Harris and their pro
golfer Lee Clarke the ProAm tournament, which took
place July 2nd, was followed
up the next day by a closely
fought 36-hole Glazerite
Trophy competition won by
former Ryder Cup star, Peter
Baker. In a competition that
looked like it was heading
for a play-off between Baker
and Daniel Greenwood of
the Forest Pines Golf Club,
things changed and got exciting when Baker produced
one final special moment at
the 18th to which he credits
his putter for making the
difference. Holing an uphill
20 foot putt to clinch victory
on seven-under-par, Baker’s
day started off how it was
meant to go on with four
birdies in his first eight holes
of round one.
“It sounds funny but I only
played OK this morning,”
said Baker. “I just managed
to hole an awful lot of putts.
It felt like I played better in
the afternoon without

Adrian Lewis & Steve Savage of Frames
Conservatories Ltd at the Glazerite Pro-Am
tournament
sinking too many, until the
vital one at the end. It’s
really pleasing to win a
Glazerite at last; I’ve played
in the last four or five and
really struggled.!This came
as a nice surprise because I
haven’t played well at all this
season until this week.”
Last year’s winner, Simon
Lilly, Wellingborough’s club
professional, finished in
eighth place on one-underpar, while other pre-tournament favourite Paul Streeter
of Lincoln Golf Centre shot
a 69 in his second round to
finish tied fourth with both
Andrew Willey (Bulwell
Forest) and Matthew Cort
(Rothley Park).
