Tydd St Giles Golf Club’s head greenkeeper and scratch golfer Kevin Goude has added another achievement to his ever-growing resume after breaking the course record.
Goude, who has been scratch club champion at Tydd for eight consecutive years, shot a stunning gross 64 (nett 66) in the July monthly medal competition.
Remarkably, that score was only good enough to earn him victory after countback in Division One of the competition, with John Martin (nett 66) also performing admirably.
