Jeffery glad his course gets chance

ASK anyone at La Grande Mare which of their players will push hardest for the Cenkos Guernsey Open Matchplay golf Championship and they are likely to come up with the same name.

That player is Dave Jeffery, pictured, the two handicap who broke into the senior island team last season and has consistently been the club's strongest contender at the annual island championships.

Jeffery was enthusiastic when he heard full details of the unique new event for island golfers.

'I have always thought it a shade unfair to have the island championship on the same course every year and it will be good to see how players adapt to playing on La Grande Mare which is very different to L'Ancresse,' he said.

'It is good to have another event between elite players on a different course.'
