Churchill & Blakedown golfers have done the double by clinching promotion for the second year running in the Midlands Scratch League.

A tremendous win 6-2 at Gaudet Luce Golf Club was enough to see them crowned Division Seven champions head of runners up Hollywood.

Next season they will be rubbing shoulders in Division Six with local rivals Hagley G&CC and Wharton Park as well as Copt Heath and Stratford Oaks among others.

Leading the way was Scratch Team Captain Gary Thrasher who has worked tirelessly to make sure the club put out full sides for each and every match, something other, bigger clubs were often unable to do.

A club spokesman said: “The lads in the squad are passionate about representing their club and it is a tribute to their battling spirit that on occasions they have beaten opponents four or five shots lower.

“That said, we are always on the lookout for competitive golfers so if you are single figures or thereabouts and want to be part of a winning outfit, get in touch with the club on 01562 700018.”
