Congratulations to Kev Garrett of Freshwater, who has won this year's Harry Gordon Trophy.  The competition was played at Newport Golf Club on Sunday 19th May.  After 18 holes, the best gross score was 71, 3 over par, which was shot by Kev and Darren Masterton of Osborne.  A sudden death play off was followed, which considering the circumstances, was of a very high standard with each player parring the first 4 holes.  On the 5th extra hole Darren appeared to get a flyer from the rough and flew the green and landed in the back bunker from where he was unable to make par.  Kev 2 putted for a 4 to win.  A mention should also go to Bryce Wilson who shot the best round of the day, a 70.  Unfortunately, Bryce wasn't eliigible for the Harry Gordon Trophy, but as this event was also the first qualifying competition for Island Games 2015 team, Bryce leads the points table.

Below are the scores from Sunday:

Isle of Wight V Hampshire Colts

The Isle of Wight Golf Union representative side played their annual match against Hampshire Colts (Under 21’s) last Sunday at Shanklin and Sandown Golf Club.   The course was in great condition, the sun was shining all day, perfect for playing great golf.  The Colts team, as always, fielded a strong team with players who have first team experience and also the reigning County champion, Jordan Ainley.  The Island team fielded a young talented team with 5 of the 8 players under the age of 20, all making their debuts.
 The morning foursomes were closely contested, with a good win for Nat Riddett (Shanklin and Sandown) and Ryan Harmer (Freshwater).  Josh Oddy and Conor Richards played well on their home course and finished the round under par to halve their game.  The Island looked as though they may go into lunch with a lead when the final match were all square playing the last. Unfortunately, the Colts won the hole to lead by 1 point at lunch

Bryce Wilson Isle of Wight team

The afternoon singles started well with both Ryan Harmer and Conor Richards  winning, and Josh Oddy halving, to complete fantastic debuts.  Matt Barnicoat (Shanklin and Sandown had possibly the toughest match, playing Jordan Ainley, however, led after 9 holes. Unfortunately for Matt, Jordan fired several birdies in the back 9 to win 2&1.  The other team members fought hard, but could only gain an extra half point and the match ended with a Hampshire Colts win - 7 ½ to 4 ½.
