Erwan Testard won this years EKFC Club Championship with a stunning 74 at the Earth Course on Saturday. It was an excellent display of golf which ended his playing partner’s, Paul Nightingale, 5-year reign. Well done Erwan! Three shots further adrift was Tony Benecke who carded a “best-ever round” of 77 - with a stableford score of 41 points, Tony also took the best “Net” prize. Craig Williams was a further 3 shots adrift and carded an 80.
As mentioned earlier, Tony won the best “Net”, though it was an extremely crowded leaderboard - Sezanne Cassim had 40 points and came second in the Net division and four more players were vying for third on 39 points - Swen Grzella won on a count back from Craig Williams, Madhu Ramaswamy and Vanessa North.
Nearest-the-pins were won by: David Ladd-Thomas (4th), Craig McBride (6th) James Taplin (13th) and Vanessa North (17th).

The last event of the Summer Challenge was played at the Creek this weekend and produced great finale to the series when Dean Moss pipped close rivals Gavin Hitzeroth and Archie Gemmell in the very last round. It was always going to be close, but Dean scored an impressive 38 points that, together with his earlier scores of 36 and 34 points respectively gave him 108 points overall, 3 points ahead of Archie and Gavin who both aggregated 105 points (best 3 scores from the four events of the Summer Series).
Not surprisingly, Dean also won this week’s event at the Creek, though it was on a count-back as Kader Tazerout also had an equally impressive round of 38 points. A further point adrift was Tim Collins who picked up third place. Nearest the pins were won by Amit Khandelwal (5th), Rupendra Chetri (8th) and Frank Bishop (14th and 16th).
