TWO Andover Golf Club members have finished third in a national construction industry competition.

Ron George and Paul Warmington recently competed in the Grand Final of The Golf Classic Cup.

The pair beat over 1,000 golfers, in six different rounds, to secure a place in the final which took place at the Forest Arden Championship course in Birmingham.

The duo were beaten on the day by a pair from Scotland but finished third, three points behind.

Mr George said “We did not really play as well as we could on the finals day, but it was a tough championship course.

“However coming third overall in a national championship is probably the biggest golfing achievement we will both ever achieve.”
