Chris shoots 64 for new record

It was a record breaking weekend at Silverwood golf club on Saturday with scratch player Chris Watts breaking the course record by two shots with an unbelievable gross 64.

Chris had a fantastic front nine of 28 shots which equalled 25 point’s with two eagles at the 1st and par four 4th, three birdies and four pars and at this stage a 59 was a real possibility.

However a couple of three putts on the 11th and 17th paid to that target. He did however have three birdies at the 13th 15th and 18th holes and four pars for a one under back nine, 20 points and a total of 64 gross and 45 points to win by one point.
