2007 ORANGE JACKET

Fairhaven

With the competition as fierce as ever for this prestigious award, it was a surprise that one of our overseas stars failed to perform on day 1. With 6 blobs the prize for the 1st winner of this years Orange jacket (and all that goes with it) was Cyril with 19 points. He just beat last years winner Paddy & this years virgin Griff by 1 point.

St.Annes Old Links

After a promising start on day 1 with a top 7 finish, 1 curry to many on the Tuesday night put paid to his chances on these old links. He was seen double checking everyone's card as he knew he would struggle in both coat and hat. With only 23points he claimed the prize on day 2.

A surprise to many that today's winner had taken so long to claim the prize he likes to call his own. With a small amount of confusion at the handing over ceremony it was nearly snatched away from him by DavieG who had scored 25 points, but in the end it was decided Rex's 22points deserved the prize. Nice try lads!!!

The final day is always the day to avoid winning this award - not only do you have to wear it during pub golf (which could be a good thing for some) but you also wear it on day 1 next year. The winner today was a little unlucky as he came in 2nd to last, but as the tour rules state (only once a year), he'd beaten Rosc by 1 point with 22 points in total. Great photo Pete.
