Spring Round Up
Praying for a wet spell!
Its been a dry spell in both emails & rain so I thought I'd bring everyone up to date with the latest news from the course.
The first qualifier of the season was the Presidents Salver over Easter Weekend & much like last year, one of our more senior players prevailed on the day, Ken Levers. His 63 net saw him win by 3 shots on the day. Alex Shaw & Mark Hancock filled second and third with Paul Gawthrope in fourth to complete the play offs for the salver itself. Good luck Gents.
Sundays Betterball went the way of Paul Jones & Martin Pooley with a score of 43 points. Paul was also one of three players tied on 66 in the following days first Midweek Medal of the season. Adam Sapey,Danny Hoyle were 1st & 2nd respectively though with Paul taking 3rd.
The second qualifier took place the following Saturday with the Phillipson Betterball Medal. John Skidmore & Ellis Brown took first place with 58. Josh Duckmanton & James Mceleavey edged out Steve Cowley & Barrie Uttley for 2nd with a better back 9 with Alex Shaw & James Booth completing the line up for the play offs. Again,good luck in them.
Sundays Single Stableford saw a couple of good scores from Steve Lyman & Danny Garner in Division 1 with Jason Yule pipping Paul Smith in Division 2.
Saturday saw the first Gents Major of the year with Allan White taking the honours with a net 66. Andy Bell was runner up on 67 with Chris Mills completing the podium with the best 68. Mike Hammond took the Best Gross prize for the day.
The Ladies are just starting to get into their stride. Aprils Sunday Stableford was won by Jenny Ellis with Karen Dent & Sue Butterfield filling the places.
Their first major of the year, the Williams & Wood, took place Sunday & Judy Williams took the honours with 37 points just pipping Lady Captain Margaret Freeman into 2nd on 36 with Joanne Tarplett finishing 3rd on 35. Well played to all.
A fairly quiet week ahead with the second Gents major on Saturday, the Walt Bailey Trophy, being the highlight of the week. A busier week next week though & I will return with news of that nearer the time.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
