SHAUN Kench was crowned Chipping Norton club champion for the second year in a row following rounds of 72 and 71 in the 36-hole competition.

Meanwhile, Chipping Norton and Keltbray Golf Environmental have joined forces to construct a new practice facility on a section of land owned by the club, adjacent to the first hole.

It will create a three-hole par three practice course, short game area and 14-bay driving range with a new pro shop.

Work will start later this summer.

* NORTH Oxford’s Sally Ste-wart and Carol Southgate have reached the England final of the Ping Women’s Fourball Betterball Tournament at Gainsborough on September 6.

* NORTH Oxford’s Alan Bennett aced the 133-yard 11th in the third round of the Captain’s Bowl against Dave Woodcock, helping him to victory at the 23rd hole.
