Rookie player David Pitt fought against the odds to win Theale Golf Club’s Masters Challenge.
Five years ago, David Pitt (pictured) went to work at Theale Golf club, to put his culinary skills to use.
He had never picked up a golf club in his life but decided to learn how to play the game.
Earlier this month he won his first competition and as this was the club’s last weekend open competition for the season, was just in time to earn him a place in the club’s Masters Challenge.
This is only open to winners of one of the seasons board competitions, for which they have their name inscribed on the club’s honours boards.
David’s good run of form held up, and he won the Masters with a net 69, which put him in front of all the other winners, including the Club Captain, Lee Barrett, who was runner-up with a net 71.
