February Medal

The last of this winter's Stableford medals from the yellow tees was played yesterday. Thirty-six men and six ladies competed for the prizes in blustery conditions so scoring was not easy (it never is!!!!).

Division 1
The top division was extremely close with 2 points separating the top six places. Three players were tied at the top with 36 points, but count-back ensured Roger Tillett (12hcp) emerged as the winner over Max Nicholls (7hcp) and Jon Miller (10hcp). Fourth place on 35 points was also decided on count-back with Ian Folwell (11hcp) just edging out John Day (10hcp).

Just as a footnote ....
As many of you will know by now, the committee are making determined attempts to speed up the pace of play in competitions which in all honesty (in a number of cases) has been unacceptable and a frustration for all.
The good news was that all groups were round today in 3 and 3/4 hours or less which is an excellent achievement. Well done to everyone !!!! Let's make this the rule NOT the exception.
