ENMORE Park’s David Dixon made light of the change of expected venue to record his second win of the G&S PGA season over the Channel Course at Burnham and Berrow.

He posted a three under par 67, which is also going to be recognized as a course record over the layout, to win by one from the ever consistent Ross Langdon on 68.

The Pro’s were due to visit Bristol & Clifton this week but some greens drainage work took longer than they had expected and suggested an alternative venue should be found.

G&S PGA Chairman Andrew March contacted Burnham and Berrow and the club kindly agreed to allow the event to take place over their nine hole, 18 tee Channel Course.

This course hosts the annual Pairs Championship in December but this was the first time it had hosted a Medal event.

The course places a premium on accuracy rather than distance and with only a light wind by Burnham’s standards blowing it was interesting to see how the 25 pro’s tackled the course.

As it turned out many horror stories and numerous lost balls were recounted in the clubhouse afterwards as cards were ruined at many different parts of the course.

Dixon, although finishing three under the card, was not exempt from those lost balls as somehow he managed to lose three balls during his round but still come home the winner.

The PGA Cup winner carded six birdies and an eagle which helped repair the damage of two double bogies and a single bogey which blotted an otherwise sensational card.

His birdie trail got underway with three in a row from the fourth and another on the short eighth as he scorched to the turn in just 32 strokes.

It would have been five gains in a row but he lost a ball at the seventh before making a birdie with his second ball.

His second lost ball came at the 10th ahead of an eagle at the 13th.

His final dropped shots came at the next hole with another double bogey but a couple of birdies at the 15th and 17th saw him reach the ‘house’ at a winning three under par.

Langdon started the day as the leader of the total Triumph Order of Merit and ended the day in exactly the same position as he posted a steady two under par 68.

All of his scoring came before the turn as he picked up strokes at the second, eighth and ninth against just one bogey at the sixth.

The second circuit of the course was played in nine straight par figures to see him strengthen his lead at the head of the table.

Last week’s winner Giuseppe Licata again broke par, no mean feat around that layout, as he finished third on 69 whilst fourth was shared on 71 by G&S PGA Chairman and former Burnham Assistant Pro Andrew March (Brean) and Louis Boston from Windmill Golf Academy.

George Ryall was sixth with 72 and won the Over 40’s Sweep money.

Next week the Professional’s visit Cotswold Hills Golf Club for the next Medal on their winter schedule.
