December Seniors Medal

The December Seniors Medal was played yesterday in cold conditions with a stiff north-easterly to test all the players. The expected rain did not arrive until quite late, so most players were lucky and missed it. Not so lucky for the last couple of groups who were bombarded with a heavy hail storm!!
Thirty-one players competed for the medals this month and as there were only three ladies competing, there was no separate ladies medal. The medal was played as a Stableford from the yellow tees and as it was a mixed gender competition, the CONGU calculations meant that the Men had a CHA (competition handicap adjustment) of minus 1 stroke.
Despite the cold conditions, the course was in good condition and the greens were receptive. The players at the top end of the leaderboard took full advantage of this and carded some very good scores.
The winner with a fine 39 points (CONGU adjusted to 38) was Chris Moore (7hcp) who shot an impressive gross 75. One point further back was Harry Jackson (16hcp) and one point behind Harry was third-placed Roy Whiting (17hcp).
Well done to all who turned out to play in the conditions.
