Belton Woods was this year’s venue for the Venerables Autumn tour. The 21 players were treated to excellent accommodation with both food and service to match.

​

The golf courses were presented in very good condition, and both gave us a good test of our abilities. Although the first 2 days were mainly overcast and day 3 had some light rain early on, this did not dampen the spirits of our intrepid Venerables.

​

This year we had a few new Venerable members (adding some colour to the proceedings) who along with the stalwarts all said how much they enjoyed both the company and the experience.

​

Our thanks as always must go to Saleem who generously donated balls, towels and gloves for us to use as part of our daily prizes. A mention should also go to Andrew Wyatt for being our own David Baily as official photography, and lastly Dave Sephton for publishing on our website.

​

Dave Watts again organised the trip and special mention must go to Seve King for assistance with not only the card collection/verification but also sometimes what seemed like herding cats.

​

The winner of the prestigious Autumn Tour trophy this year was Kevin Esplin with a 2 day score of 73, narrowly beating David Baker by 2 points. Below you will find a summary of all the daily winners.
