Medal 2
Well done to Alex Mills for shoiting a gross 74 for a nett 65 to win Medal 2 on Saturday. He;s worked hard at his game so it just goes to show what a bit of focused practice can do. Ade Kerhaw recorded a nett 68 to finish as runner up. Phil Long, just back from being poorly, also recorded a nett 68 but lost out to Ade on a card play off.
Nine & Dine
Michael & Vicky Wells and Gail and Tony Sampson won the back nine best two from four stableford on Friday with 46 points. Just one point behind in second place were the all female team of Sue Bryant, Jean Green, Pauline Keeling and Anne Webster.
Ladies Competitions
Congratulations go to Helen Davies and Vicki Wells for winning the R&A Coronation Foursomes stableford on Thursday with 35 points. Two other pairs also recorded 35 points but were beaten on countback meaning Gill Kay and Gillian Brogdon were runners up and Jan Ravenscroft and Tracey Thompson were third.
Val Nelstrop continued her excellent recent form to win the back nine stableford with 21 points. Karen Stockton was second with 20 points.
Seniors Stableford 2
Three players tied on 20 points with a back six card playoff deciding the result last Wednesday. It was John Johnston who finished in top spot, Andrew Kay was second and unlucky Mike Wells who went out first and lead right up to the last few cards went in was finsihed in third place. John Ashworth won three balls for the only two of the day on 13th hole.
Members Guest Fees
Hopefully you saw the memo from Greens that went out the other day. If not here it is again below. In summary, when you book a guest on Club V1 the system does not take payment.
My Golf
I played some competitive golf last week and was delighted to win the PGA Cheshire Championship which was played at Knutsford GC with a three under par round of 67.
I then headed to Essex to play in the PGA Seniors Championships which is 36 holes (one round at Romford GC and one round at West Essex GC followed by a cut. I’m delighted to say that I made the cut and so played the final round at Romford GC. I finished 22nd overall (240 players entered) and shot rounds of +5, level and -1 for a four over par total.
So I was very pleased with these performances and hope I can continue this good form into the rest of the season.
Photos
Thanks to Sue Bryant for these photos f the pong on the new 4th/13th hole. The big dark oval on the second photo is apparently a mass of tadpoles.
