Keith aces competition to win 2024 John Bibby Trophy

A blazing start and an extraordinary third-round score lifted Lifeview Willow Wood resident Keith to this year’s golf masters John Bibby Trophy.

Pinging off the blocks in the first week of the annual Willow Wood golf competition, Keith quickly established a strong lead courtesy of a 535-point Round 1 performance.

Keith was 60 points clear of second-placed resident Salvatore, with a further chasing pack led by former John Bibby Trophy champion Stewy.

Stewy hit back in Round 2, an impressive 520 taking him to the aggregate lead on 982 points, with Keith (907) and Salvatore (905) holding down second and third ahead of Aileen on 630.

But Round 3 would prove 'moving round' for Keith, who all but secured the title with a whopping 936 to take a commanding 475-point lead on Stewy.

Strong challenges in the closing rounds came from various residents, including Stewy, who closed the margin to just 78 points in the finish, Aileen, Val, Margaret C, Margaret S and Salvatore, but Keith held on.

Stewy finished in second, with Margaret C taking third place.

The annual August tournament is named in honour of former Willow Wood resident John Bibby, who loved his golf and passed away in 2022.

The residents said they would like to honour John’s memory, and so the annual championship began.
