NICK Gerry and Jamie Baker proved too strong for the rest of the field in Launceston Golf Club's Winter League, their 40 points in the final round on Sunday March 1 gaining them second place on the day, was enough to guarantee them a comfortable margin of victory over the four qualifying rounds played.

Their final score of 167 points was six points better than second place Roger Kellow and Mike Briggs.

Jamie should feel especially pleased because this was his first attempt at competing in the Winter League.
