April’s Gopher Watch proved quite difficult, as we received less correct entries than we have for quite some time.
Surprising, perhaps, as Nairn Golf Club (where Sandy was to be found) has been in the news a lot recently, as the host for this year’s Amateur championship.
And that makes this issue a bit historic, as we have our first ever repeat winner. Congratulations to Richard Penley-Martin, secretary of Denham Golf Club, north of London – though he was at Ganton when he won a GCA shirt previously! Sandy is obviously in a news-driven frame of mind, this time he’s at a course originally designed by Old Tom Morris and was recently saved by the efforts of its regular players.
