The British Open was held on 18-19th July at Whitcombe Farm. 
Beaminster. The results were entered on computer so hopefully Toby 
or Charlie will post the full results.

We had a record field with 58 competitors, 8 more than last years 
record of 50. The weather was good, with just enough wind to make 
things interesting.

I don't have time to give a full write up, but the top 10 were

1	169 + 27	Soren Larsen (Denmark)
2	166 + 31	Sean Young 
3	167 + 34	Simon Luard
4	177 + 27	Brennan Doyle (USA)
5	173 + 32	Derek Robins
6	178	Rafi Freire
7=	180	Patrick Ruffieux (France or Switzerland?)
7=	180	Liam Young 
7=	180	Oz Freire
10	181	Paul Francz (Switzerland)

As you can deduce Soren started the final 9 holes 3 shots behind 
Sean. They were tied going to the last hole - Goolagong Dip. Soren 
drove over the pond and trees into the far field for a birdie 3. 
Sean caught the trees and could only manage a 4.

After accepting the trophy and prize money Soren commented that 
this Whitcombe farm was best or most beautiful course (probably 
both!) that he had played - and he is possibly the most travelled 
golfer within europe, so that is quite a compliment!

Thanks to Toby for getting the course in such good shape and laying 
on extra facilities for the players.

Nest stop on the BDGA tour is Essex University on August 15-16.

btw I will be in the USA for 3 weeks and will unsubscribe from 
these mailing lists from Tuesday. So don't expect me to comment on 
any follow up postings!
