“We didn’t have the best of starts,” said Backhouse. “We were a little out of touch and haven’t played much competitive golf recently but we had a strong run on the back nine. Congratulations to the DHL team who achieved a great nett score.”
Results:
Winning Amateur Team: Ed Daly, Adrian Morgan, Gary Owen, Andy Love (59.7 nett).
