  • MENS GOLF FOR THE W/E 26TH NOVEMBER

    This week has seen the full range of weather from beautiful spring sunshine and torrential rain which has played havoc with Saturdays monthly medal.

    On Tuesday we had a field of 20 play in a stableford competition and as has been the pattern lately the scores were once again quite spectacular. Malcolm Griffiths won the day with a score of 42 points off a handicap of 19 with Aaron Roberts coming in second with 40 points (h/c 23) on a countback from Derek Smith (h/c 26), these 3 gentlemen won’t be playing off these handicaps for a while.

    On Thursday great field of 71 played. With daylight savings we have a number of players start their rounds later in the afternoon after they finish work which is terrific as it allows more to play in the weekly competition. Because of the numbers there were 2 divisions.

    A GRADE

    Rob Pratt on his way to winning B Grade on Thursday

    1st: Rob Dundas 38 points (h/c 7)

    2nd: Shaun Wade 37 points (h/c 6) on a countback

    3rd: Josh Foots 37 points (h/c 11) on a countback

    B GRADE

    1st: Rob Pratt 41 points (h/c 19)

    2nd: Brendan Egan 38 points (h/c 15)

    3rd: Peter Barnes 37 points (h/c 15) on a countback

    Well done to Rob Dundas on another great win having won last Thursday as well. Once again we had a number of golfers beat their handicaps which is a testament to the wonderful conditions that the course is in, congratulations to Tony Cooksey and his team.

    On Saturday the monthly medal was scheduled to be played and a number of early starters managed to get their rounds in before the thunderstorm struck and the course became unplayable due to the flash flooding.

    As a result of the conditions the Medal had to be postponed for a week and will be played next weekend on December 2nd. However we couldn’t let those who played go unrewarded so the results of the stroke round were

    !st: Graham Coker 70 (h/c 13)

    2nd: David Smithwick 72 (h/c 17) on a countback

    3rd: Shane Brook 72 (h/c 17)

    As mentioned the monthly medal sponsored by Delatite Dental will now be played this coming weekend
