He had a fabulous finish after amassing just four four points after the opening four holes. Robert Spark finished third, also with 18 points.

Use of Mats

Please click here for clarification on the use of mats. There have been some instances where golfers have been unsure where they should and shouldn’t use them so we hope this makes things clearer.

Some terms are useful to know and are illustrated below. Plus here’s a link to an interesting article that explains a little about “the anatomy of a golf course”.
