Hot Currys - July 15
Former Amateur Champion David Curry's two sons have been following in Dad's footsteps over the weekend. Older brother James (19), now close to a plus 3 handicap, was in fine form at Blyth shooting two rounds of three under par 69, in tricky conditions to win the individual title in the County Clubs 1st Division Championships. This helped put the Prudhoe team, which included Shaun Philipson and Kevin Robson, in third place behind Morpeth and the home club.
Meanwhile, at Prudhoe, younger brother Liam, put together two great rounds in the Junior Club Championship. He shot rounds of gross 77 and 76 to finish just one shot behind eventual winner, 7 handicapper Andy Scrimshaw. Ben Lloyd, playing off 5 tied with Liam on 153 whilst hot favourite, Graham Younger off 3 faded back into the pack having held the joint lead after the first round.
What was remarkable about Liam's rounds was that, apart from the fact he is still only 11 years old, he was playing off 19 handicap and his winning net score off 115 was 23 under par!
It seems that David's legacy is in very safe hands and he could easily have right handed and left handed sons playing together in County golf, or better, in the not too distant future. "A great day for both lads although Liam was a bit annoyed he hadn't won and James was hoping to reach plus 3. I'm very proud of them both," said David
