After a chilly start this morning, the Carole Scott Cup was played today on a beautiful spring day in glorious sunshine. Forty-eight players (35 men and 13 ladies) competed for the prizes in this annual strokeplay event.
Scoring was not as low as expected, but the clear winner today was senior Jim Green (9hcp) with a very good score of nett 67. His gross 76 was the equal lowest gross of the day (with Charlie Butler) and Jim receives a one shot cut to his handicap for that effort!!
The next three players on the leaderboard all scored nett 70, so countback was called into play to decide the placings. Runner-up was Andrew Buchanan (13hcp) whose back-six holes beat Carl McCartney (9hcp) by one shot. Fourth was Jack Unsworth (9hcp) who was looking a potential winner until a triple bogey at the 15th scuppered his chances. Top lady today was 5th placed Cilla Osgood (23hcp) with a nett 71.

Pace of play.
The average round time for today's competition was 3h:47m. All groups were under the 4-hour mark so not a bad effort. I didn't see any huge gaps between groups. Well done everyone - keep it up.
