Results of the Golfing Challenge at Warmington on the 30th June 2012
Thanks to
the work of a great team of groundspeople the green at Warmington was
transformed into a course to rival St Andrews.
Top golfers from around the world couldn't make it, but some keen
golfers from the local area took on the challenge to see who would emerge as
the Edgehill Games Champion.
The champions
were decided by their combined scores across three disciplines
- Putting
- Chipping golf balls at a target
- Chipping tennis balls at tyres – another sport to watch out for in future Olympics!
It was a
close fought competition with each of the teams showing strengths in different
areas. Nick Gunn reached a record score
on the chipping at the target which helped to secure him the individual Gold
for the men, but great consistency across the team meant that Warmington
brought home the team Gold.
The juniors
present also had a go and all received a medal for their display of excellent
golfing skills
