Competition Result List

For any teams that think they had lower scores the competition description on the website explained that the 18 hole handicaps calculated by the system needed to be adjusted by 7/9. A couple of teams did do this but the remainder of the field didn't so may be disappointed and confused.

Great scores were returned. The span for all of the teams was from 40 to 47.

The prize winners were:

1st Paul Pike, Dan Duthie, Greg Duthie, Mark Brook nett 40 - £25 each

2nd Julian Niblett, Ian Radmore, Simon Hunt, Ian Jowett nett 41 CB - £20 each

3rd Daniel Pacey, Greg Purdue, Ben Adams, Phil Eadsforth nett 41 CB - £15 each

4th Kent Heselton, Darren Batchford, Russell Holmes, Robert Jones nett 41 CB - £10 each.

Bar cards will be credited with the prizes.

Congratulations to John Hawley & Paul (The Shorts) Baker on winning the Seniors American Greensome Stableford on the 12th of December 2024, with a score of 33 points over 14 holes.  

This was our Christmas comp with a Shotgun Start, and It brought back a lot of camaraderie in the clubhouse so we will be looking to do some more of these in the New Year.

Spare a thought for Tony Merrin who was about to play as a late entry favour to make up the numbers. Tony fell on his way to the Tee, resulting in a broken arm (just what he wanted for Christmas). We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back playing golf soon

Congratulations to Marcus Beale on winning Division 1 of the Seniors Single Stableford yellow tees  Competition on Thursday 31st October 2024, with a score of 37 points. Also, congratulations to Rob McWilliam on winning Division 2 of the above competition with an excellent score of 40 points . The full results are below.

Because of a strong imbalance in the number of players playing in the 2 divisions (41 Div 1 & 24 Div 2)  the prize fund has been slightly amended for this competition

Going forward Division 1 will be 0-14 and Div 2 will be 15-36 to balance the numbers and will be reviewed again if numbers become unbalanced.

The new calculation for Yellow Winter Course handicaps will mean most players will receive 3 shots fewer than last year's winter allowance.
