Men's Team Win against Tyneside

From the Captain, Brian King .....The men's team had another good result in the first Hadrian League match of the season, at home to Tyneside. After nine holes Parklands were in front in 4 matches with one all square, but on the back nine things changed with Daniel Trotter 2 up after nine then level through 17 before going on to win on the eighteenth. Ronnie Dixon had a close match, and was all square at the 17th tee, Ronnie won the 17th to go 1up but then put his tee shot into the woods on 18 and the match finished all square. Daren Rushtom also arrived at the 17th tee all square after being up for most of the match he lost on 17 but a good win on 18 resulted in the match finishing all square.Craig Wilson had a tough first league game against 15 year old Sam Robinson who played some excellent golf on the front nine to turn 2 up a lead he held to the finish winning 2-1 despite a battling performance from Craig. Karl Mossom played steady golf he took an early lead winning his match 3-2, Karl was unhappy with his long game, but his ability around the greens was enough to give him his win. Graham Hewitt started his match with a very uncharacteristic drive, but he soon put this behind him (not literally) and finished the match winning 4-2. The overall result was Parklands 8 Tyneside 4. Well done guys ... a winning start.
The next team match is at Parklands on Saturday when the team play Alnwick G. C. in the first round of the Davison Cup, the first tee 11:00 a.m. This is followed by an away match at Stocksfield on Tuesday.
