Max Score Medal
Well done to Mandy Gilbert for battling the elements to win last Thursday’s ladies max score Medal with a 75. Second place was shared between Gill Kay and Corinne Veitch with 76s. Tiff Fielden won the alternate day Medal also with a 75.
Twenty two ladies played in the nine hole max score Medal. Rosemary Bowden finished on top of the leaderboard with a nett 36. Lucy Daynes was second with a nett 37.
Summer Stableford
Congratulations to Paul Simpson for winning Saturday’s Summer Stableford with a splendid 40 points. Graham Bryant continued his recent good form to finish in second place just one point adrift. Ian Goulty was third with 37 points. The CSS was 68.
Seniors Summer Nine Hole Stableford
As I’m a little later than usual in sending out this week’s missive, I can include the results from the final Seniors stableford of the campaign which took place on Wednesday 2nd September.
Well done to John Bacon for winning with a fine score of 21 points. Before going out he’d complained of his golf being all over the place so that just about sums up golf doesn’t it? Bill Harvey edged into second place with 19 points ahead of Tony Sampson via a card play off.
Thirty seniors have qualified for the final which takes place on Wednesday so good luck to all those worthy qualifiers.
