After trying for many years and being the perennial runner up, Robert "Gus" Starke has taken the next step in his golfing career to become the 2007 Great Northern Tour champion. After a particularly poignant (and unexpectedly sober) speech by the 2006 champion, Greg Attrill, the Bee Moore Trophy was handed over to Gus and met with tumultuous applause (and a very short version of "For he's a jolly good fellow" loudly led by Robert Hart, another previous champion).
It is unlikely that there has ever been a more deserving nor a more popular winner and the blog would like to extend its personal congratulations.
For the record, Gus won with a score of 136 (2 rounds of 68), and was followed by Messers Palmer and Roulston on 140.
More scores and photographs to follow over the coming days.
