May Ashton Trophy
Congratulations to Anne Webster for winning the prestigious May Ashton Trophy last week with a fine nett score of 71. Second place went to the in form Gillian Healey with a 72 and she reduced her handicap again, this time from 27 to 26. The CSS was 73 showing that it was a tricky day for scoring.
The nine hole Stableford was won with 19 points by Nancy Fallows, well done. Lynette Lodge was second with sixteen points beating Lucy Daynes via a card play off.
Medal 6
There were fourteen nett scores in the 60s on Saturday so post lockdown golf means that you have to go low to win a men’s competition. Andrew Gething was the man on top of the leader board this week with a gross 82 and a nett 61 (nine under!) to win by only one shot! His handicap has been reduced to 18 so congratulations on all counts Andrew.
Nick Horrocks was second with a nett 62 and Ian Hunt third with a nett 63. But spare a thought for Graham Bryant who also shot shot a nett 63 but didn’t finish on the podium…. tough school! The CSS on the day was 68.
