DAMIEN MOUL AND BEN BRICE WIN NEWPORT GOLF CLUB’S BRASS MONKEYS COMPETITION

Newport Golf Club kicked off their year with their traditional Brass Monkeys competition, which took place with a large number of entries despite the inclement weather. Damien Moul and Ben Brice were the winners with an outstanding 78; D. Stockbridge and R. Evans came 2nd with 75; S. Jupe and D. Howarth took 3rd place with 74. Newport GC also held a brand new event on 27th January: a Burns themed team event, complete with haggises on the tables and the musical accompaniment of a Highland piper. All those participating were said to have enjoyed the format. The haggises were described as ‘a great feast’, and the piper ‘went down well’. The winning team at Burns Night comprised of Carol Taylor, Darren Boulton, Duncan Bond and Kev Gwilliam.
