Burra Golf Results

The first round of the Jennison Handicap Match Play Cup was played on Saturday with all eight matches decided. The ever popular colourful local identity Philip “Tommo” Thomson, who was expected to proceed comfortably to the next round, was surprisingly beaten 3 & 2 by the oldest player in the event, Dick Cleland.
