Jonny's a Worthy winner of Town Bowl

FIVE handicapper Jonny Worthy shot two excellent gross scores of 74 and 72 for a two-round nett total of 136 to win the Stratford-on-Avon Golf Club Town Bowl.

Captain David Gladwin, who finished in joint fourth presented the trophy in front of the clubhouse with many members present.
