Jack teamed up with Nottingham’s Will Gee to compete at Nottingham in the English National GC Doubles, over the weekend of 29th and 30th July. Due mainly to the 150+ point increase in Jack’s D Grade over the last month they were the top seeds. Saturday saw them undefeated in 7 rounds of the pre-drawn Swiss.
With lots of upsets elsewhere Sunday saw them play the 2nd seeds in the quarter-finals, where they beat Jenny Clarke & Richard Bilton in straight games. The semi-finals saw the same score against Jack Wicks & Albie Willets. After a 3 hour wait for the other semi to finish (and the rain to arrive), Jack & Will beat Nick Archer & Jason Carley 2-0 in a very wet final.
Overall a quite good July for Jack – undefeated in the Inter-Club at Chester, undefeated in the Cheshire Open, part of the winning England team in the AC McWeeney, winning the Nottingham Ascot and finishing with this win. Very well done Jack.
