April Medal

At last ... spring like weather (not quite shorts yet Mr France!!) was welcomed today as 48 players (40 men and 8 ladies) competed for the April medals; and (for the men) a place in the PGA Pro-Am. The improving condition of the course was reflected in the better scoring this month.

Division 1
This month's winner with a fine best gross of the day (75) was Curtis Macgeever. Runner-up with another great score (gross 76 nett 71) was Charlie Butler. Third place on countback went to Jim Green whose gross level par back 9 ensured he beat George Stockley and Jim Purvis on the same nett score.

Division 2
The middle division was won with a fine putting and ball-striking display by Roy Martinez (nett 66). Roy, who received a 2 stroke cut in his handicap and promotion back to Div 1, shared the lowest gross in this division with runner-up Gordon Souter who finished just one shot behind (nett 67). One shot further back, two players battled it out for third spot with Roger Tillett just beating John Baron on countback.

Division 3
The winner with the lowest gross in this division was Stuart Briginshaw (gross 86 nett 65). This earned Stuart a 2 shot cut in his handicap as well as promotion to Div 2 and was his first win since Aug 2002. Those hours and hours of post-round practice have obviously paid dividends for Stuart at long last. Stuart would like to thank his sponsors (Carling & Fosters) for sticking by him during the lean times. Runner-up was Mike Chamberlain with a nett 69 followed by last month's winner Jeremy Twaits with nett 71.
