After a bit of a blip 10 days or so ago, the recent fair weather continues which has meant lots of golf still taking place. The competition results from the last seven days are summarised below.
Mens and Ladies Saturday 9 Hole Stableford
We had a tremendous turnout for the inaugural nine hole stableford on Saturday, with close to 100 players taking part. The gents and ladies were able to play in groups together or in single sex groups and two competitions were held concurrently.
Mandy Gilbert finished on top of the leader board of the ladies event with a whopping 22 points. Well played Mandy and that reduces her handicap to 14.8. Helen Allott and Gill Kay both scored 18 points but Helen took second place following the card play off.
On the men’s side, Alex Mills won with 19 points so another one of our younger players developing into a very tidy golfer. There was then a real log jam with ten players who scoring 18 points. Roger Mattocks clearly had the strongest finish to his nine as he finished second after the card play off and Peter Hindle was third.
Ladies Stablefords
Well done Diana Hogben who won Thursday’s 18 hole stableford with 35 points. It’s pleasing to see that Nancy Fallows and Diana Harris, two of our newer members, finished in second and third place both with 33 points.
There was a big field of 25 for the nine hole competition. Sharon Thorne who had played on the preceding Saturday who with an excellent 20 points. Kathleen McNairney finished second with 18 points.
Owen Knockout
Congratulations to Roger Laitt for beating Roger Lamb on Sunday to win the Owen, the men’s matchplay competition. I looked at Roger L’s route to the final and he had to beat some very good and in form players to get there so he’s clearly played well throughout the competition.
Mixed Knockout
The final between Tony Bray & Vicky Chamberlain and Eric & Gillian Healey takes place this afternoon (it’s Wednesday morning as I write this) so good luck to both pairs. The result will follow in next week’s missive.
