Till cashes in to take centenarian Jack's prize
Sixty members of the veterans' section at Bognor took part in the annual Jack Lemmer Trophy.
The winner was Trevor Till with 42 points, while second was Ian Kracke on 40.
Division one was won by Ian Simpson with 37 on countback from Doug Develin and Bob Taylor.
Derek Sheath won division two with 37 points on countback from Mike Wadley, with Jim Barker third on 36.
Jack Lemmer, looking forward to his 103rd birthday later this year, was at the lunch and as usual his jokes caused great hilarity.
He has been a member of the club since 1967.
This competition also counts as the third qualifying round of the Fletcher Trophy, with the final to be played later this year.
The leading qualifiers are now Richard Hedge with 44 points, Bob Green on 36, Trevor Till on 36 and Paul Irish on 35.
