Friends Flitton and Dobbs clinch honours at Ross Golf Club
THE latest honours board competition for men members in Ross Golf Club's annual programme of summer events saw 25 pairs aiming to win the George Griffiths Greensomes stableford event.
The format requires players to play shots alternately after choosing their preferred drives, successful scoring is dependant upon both parties achieving some consistency on the day.

Golfing friends Keith Flitton and Paul Dobbs, who are both relative newcomers at the Gorsley based tree-lined course, will feel that they could not have performed more effectively in amassing a remarkable 44 points total to finish six points ahead of their nearest rivals.
As Paul's son James happens to be one of the renowned PGA Professionals at the Ross Club, he can point to the coaching handed down over the years and an inspiration in their impressive 13 points recorded over their final four holes with a birdie and three pars.
The competition proved very much a family affair in that Keith's son James Flitton partnered by the Ross Club's 2024 Juniors Captain James Sayce were runners-up, albeit six points adrift of the champions.
Jon Matthews and Paul Meek also carded a 38 points total.
