Unstoppable Streeter marches on

Paul Streeter smashed the course record at Stratford-on-Avon during the Shakespeare Hospice Pro-Celeb Golf Day.

Streeter scored a 63 to break Mike Gallacher’s previous record of 64 around the Warwickshire course by one shot.

Reaching the turn with six birdies for a remarkable outward half of 29, he recorded two more on the back nine, before reaching the 18^th with the course record firmly in sight.

Streeter merely needed to remain bogey free on the par five finishing hole to set a new mark, he went one better, his ninth birdie of the round gave him a superb 63.

Unsurprisingly his victory margin over the rest of the field was a considerable one, four shots over Paul Broadhurst and Thomas Rastall (Sleaford) who both shot 67s as the warm and dry conditions led to a low scoring event.

Another ex-Ryder Cup star David Gilford (Trentham Park) eagled the seventh on his way to a 68 and solo fourth spot, with the visiting Richard O'Hanlon (St Kew, Cornwall) a shot further back.

In the team event young Hatchford Brook star Aaron Lansberry led his players to a one shot win over the team led by Simon Lilly (Wellingborough).
