Well things definitely seem to be getting back closer to normal as we have loads of competition results to report on in this week’s missive.
Centenary Trophy and Nine Hole Medal
The ladies had their first post lockdown competition on Thursday and the winner of the Centenary Trophy with a brilliant 67 was Corinne Veitch. This took place in the sweltering heat so it ended up being a bit of an endurance test. Second place with another good score of 68 was Tracey Thompson.
Well done to Rosemary Bowden who was the winner of the first ever ladies nine hole max score Medal competition with a nett 34.
Medal 3
Ted Shaw breezed round in a nett 64 to win Saturday’s Medal 3 by two strokes. Ted, real name Iain, learned to play his golf at Stand Golf Club which has produced some magnificent golfers over the years đ
Three players finished with nett 66s. Of those Nick Horrocks finished second on countback and Quentin Smith in third.
Considering the intense squally showers, the scoring was good. The CSS was 68, scores of 70 and better qualified for September’s Medal Final and twelve twos were recorded.
Seniors Nine Hole Stableford
The winner of Friday’s Senior Summer nine hole Stableford competition was Tony Sampson with 20 points. Jim McNairney was two points adrift in second place.
Sandiford Winter Foursomes
Jez Allen and Andrew Hay beat Mike Massey and Tony Sampson 2 & 1 to win the Sandiford, which is the men’s winter foursomes knockout.
The final was originally scheduled to be played by the 28th March but due to Covid-19 restrictions, it finally took place on Sunday. Rather fittingly the weather Gods supplied challenging winter conditions with a strong, cool wind blowing across the course.
