Published on Sunday 5 February 2012 10:36

Cold Ashby: Teenager Brad Green carded gross eagles on the first, 11th and 17th holes in a remarkable round of 41 points in the January White Tee Stableford.

The three-handicapper’s score was still only good enough for fifth place however as several other players took full advantage of the shorter course.

Karl Byron snatched the top prize as a tally of 43 points lifted him ahead of Geoff Newman, Chris Allen (both 42) and David Shield (41).

An excellent start and a good finish made all the difference in the January Mid-week Stableford as David Peak (41 points) finished three ahead of Selwyn Lloyd.
