Finals Weekend

This week we review Finals day and Medal final plus other competitions from last week so we have bucket loads of winners and scores to report on. And of course next week, the new 4th hole comes into play on Monday with new scorecards and much more. Keep an eye out for the Greens Committee bulletins that will be arriving in your inbox over the next few days.

For your information, I have contacted the following seven GPS companies: Garmin, Bushnell, Skycaddie, Motocaddy, Powakaddy, Shotscope and GolfBuddy to tell them about the upcoming course changes. Some have come back to me and some haven’t. Apparently it can take up to four weeks for the changes to go live. I will do my best to keep on top of this.

Medal Final – Captains Cup 2022

It was a nett 67 log jam at the top on Saturday for the men’s Medal Final. John Kennedy won the three way card play off, Adam Laitt finished second whilst Andrew Fishwick was knocked back into third place.

Finals Day

Five finals took place on Sunday and the ladies Charlton Cup was played a few days earlier on the Wednesday. The Bech Cup will be played at a later date. The results were as follows:

John Webb beat Chris Adams 3&2 to secure the Reid plate.

Amanda Greaves & Sue Bryant beat Jan Ravenscroft & Gillian Brogdon to win the ladies foursomes 2&1.

The Gordon Murray Memorial was won by Anne Webster & Mike Kirchin 5&3. They beat Al & Claire Makin in the their match.

Tracey Thompson beat Clare Withey on the 18th hole to secure the Charlton Cup.

The Owen memorial Bowl was won by Ben Fallows 2&1 after a close fought match with Eric Healey.

And finally the men’s Scratch Knockout was won by Dave McGlennon. Chris Brown was the beaten finalist in this match.
