a performance of
huge promise to take
victory in the Surrey

Stock, (pictured), returned
an excellent gross round of

shots from Barnes Wallis
from Surrey National GC
(nett 64). In third place, after
a count-back, was Benjamin
Brew from Surbiton GC
with an 83, from Callum
McManus from Cuddington
GC on the same score.
It was a great afternoon,
enjoyed by all, with a putting
competition and barbeque
to keep everyone amused.
Thanks to Milford GC, and
especially to the Rookie Tour
volunteers who organised
and ran the event so well.
