B Grade Gents was a tightly fought contest with 10 players within 6 shots heading into Sunday’s round. In the end 2 players could not be split, Liam Richards and Warren Scott needing a playoff to determine our winner. After narrowly avoiding the water on the left off the 10th Warren was able to scramble a par 4 to take home the title.
