NEIL Smith made the most of perfect playing conditions to become The Wychwood’s club champion.

He mastered the quick greens to card a 36-hole gross total of 153, three shots clear of nearest challenger Andy Tyler.

Tom Garrett comfortably won the handicap trophy with a nett 144, six shots ahead of Stuart Dalgarno.

It was part of a busy weekend at the club, who also hosted their pro-am in much trickier conditions.

Wychwood professional Tom Field and his assistant Rob Knight finished in a share of sixth place with rounds of 78.
