The first of the season's stroke play medals was played today with the men back on the white tees. A bright, dry day but the course still offering a stiff challenge for the 43 competitors (35 men and 8 ladies).
Division 1
In the top bracket, Jimmy Green (7hcp) captured his first medal for two years with a nett 71, also carding the lowest gross of the day. Returning after a spell at The Grove was runner-up Mark Allen (10hcp) with nett 73. Third place was claimed by John Day (10hcp) with nett 75 just beating Nick Powell (10hcp) on countback.

Division 2
This months runaway winner was Nigel Huszarik (15hcp) with a fine nett 67, the lowest gross in the division and, at last, a handicap cut for Nigel!! A bit of déjà vu here ... the last time Nigel won a medal was when Jimmy Green won the Div 1 medal back in Mar 2009 (spooky!!). Runner-up was Club Captian John Graham (17hcp) who just beat Dean Butler (13hcp) on countback after both carded nett 73

Division 3
Another runaway winner in Div 3. This time it was newcomer Jake Chambers (22hcp) with an impressive nett 65. I don't think Jake will be staying long in this division !!! Runner-up was Aubrey Phillips (20hcp) with a nett 72. Third place was decided on countback with Bob Stevenson (20hcp) just ahead of Nick Turner (20hcp) both having scored nett 78.

Pace of play...
Thanks to all for putting your finish times on the scorecards. We will continue to do this for the near future, so that we can gauge how we are doing against targets. For info, the average time for this month's medal was 3h 51m. A couple of groups crept just over the 4-hour mark. A good start, but we still need to improve. Our target is max 3h 45m. Thanks for your cooperation.

Well done to all the medal winners it wasnt easy in the wind off the whites, keep filling in our divots on the tee and the fairway and we will reap the rewards in the spring and summer.
