Two former Colchester Golf Club captains combined to battle their way through to the Daily Mail Foursomes national finals.

David Latta and Mike Sutton won the the club’s qualifying event, in February. The pair then progressed through seven knockout rounds, including away wins at Stoke by Nayland and Norwich, before beating Basildon 2&1 in the regional final.

Latta and Sutton will now be among 16 pairs who will battle it out at next month’s finals at Dalmahoy near Edinburgh.
