The roll over 2's money of £54 was not won, so will roll over to the texas scramble at Kilworth Springs. Longest Drive at 6th was taken once again by 'usual suspect' Justin Hamilton!

However, the final match produced the most thrilling and closely fought championship finale the Coombe Golf Socity has ever seen. With Dave Sanders leading Mark Walker by 2 points going onto the 18th tee, Dave Sanders's ball found its way into the most unlikely position of resting on top of a lost ball in the rough. After a few more shots, Dave unfortuantely failed to score, leaving Mark Walker to grap the championship by 1 point by making a par for 3 points! Congratulations to the 2015 Coombe Golf Society Champion: Mark Walker!!
