2017 Bonnar Cup Results
FINAL
Sunday 9th July the NAGC men's pennant team played in the B2 final at Flagstaff Hill against the undefeated Thaxted Park. On the day our players were able to hold their nerve a little better than our opponents and triumphed 4 matches to 3.
With the score tied at 3 matches all Corey Fawkes went to the last hole, a par 3 one up. After an indifferent tee shot by his opponent Corey hit a wonderful tee shot to about 10 feet and calmly two putted for victory.

Corey Fawkes won 2up. John Filmalter lost 4/3
