October Medal

After a foggy start, the last of the 2010 stroke play medals was played in warm sunshine today. The next four monthly medals will be Stableford.
Despite the lure of the Ryder Cup, a good field of 37 men and 6 ladies competed for the medals.

Division 1
The top division was very close with only one stroke separating the top four places. The winner was George Stockley (4hcp) with a nett 72 and the lowest gross of the day (76). Runner-up on countback with the same nett score was Tony Grove (9hcp). One shot further back, the next two places were also decided on countback with John Day (11hcp) just edging it from Jimmy Green (6hcp).

Division 2
This division was even tighter with only two shots separating the top 9 places! The winner was our very own "A-list" celebrity Richard Osgood (16hcp) with a nett 73. Richard just pipped Ian Turner (14hcp) and Steve Steele (15hcp) on countback after they returned the same score. Fourth place went to Ian Folwell (13hcp) on nett 74.

  1. how can only 1 score below par result in no change to the css?

  2. Par has nothing to do with the calculation.
    For Men, the calculations ignore category 4 players.
    The percentages of categoy 1,2 and 3 players who competed in the competition and the percentages of the players who scored SSS+2 or better are collated and compared to tables supplied by CONGU. The calculations also vary depending on the total number of players competing in the competition.

  3. most clubs publish the category percentages as part of the results, could we start doing this as it makes things a lot clearer?

    We stopped putting the CSS report on the board because (a) there never seemed to be enough room! and (b) 99.9% of people seemed to just want to know what the CSS was, not how it was calculated. For info the details for this men's medal were as follows:
    Category 1-3 players : 30
    Cat 1: 1 player - 3.33% rounded to 0%
    Cat 2: 6 players - 20.00% rounded to 20%
    Cat 3: 23 players - 76.67% rounded to 80%
    SSS+2 or better - 7 players 23.37% (23%)
    CSS calculated to 71
    Buffer Zones:
    Cat 1: 72
    Cat 2: 73
    Cat 3: 74
    Cat 4: 75

    Hope this helps!?!
