Golfshake.com Open EM Qual - results

The second event in the Golfshake.com Open 2009 took place on Sunday 14th June at Mapperley Golf Club in Nottingham and saw 40 golfers battle it out for a spot in the Golfshake.com Open.

Organised by Lee Miller and Mapperley member Martin Millichip the entrants were treated to a great golfing test at Mapperley and once again in sunny and warm conditions.

Scoring was close at the top with a number of results tied and based on the countback system was Division 2 handicap player Lional Roberts taken the outright win with 37 points narrowly beating organising and club member Martin Millichip.

Lee and Martin organised a great day and Lee must win an award for the most sophisticated society scoring spreadsheet :)  but was great for also recording
