June Medal

Much cooler conditions for today's medal with a bit of a breeze blowing, but there were still some very good scores from all divisions. Thirty men and six ladies competed for the June medals.

Division 1
The top division was dominated by an in-form Lloyd Childs with a net 68. His gross 72 was also the lowest of the day. The next three players all carded net 71. Jim Purvis just nabbed the runners-up spot from Andy Steadman and Gordon Souter on count-back.

Division 2
More excellent scoring in division 2 and another fine round from the improving Chris Richardson saw him grab the honours with a net 66 and the lowest gross in this division of 79. Chris is now promoted to division 1. Two shots back was runner-up Tim McAuley who is also promoted to the top flight. Third was Ian Turner on net 69 who just beat Geoff Denner on count-back.

Division 3
It was a long wait but worth it for Bob Stevenson whose last medal victory was in March 2000. Bob carded a net 65 (lowest gross of 85 in this division) and now moves up to division 2. Nick Turner's net 68 was good enough to claim the runners-up spot from John Swallow who scored net 70.

Plenty of two's today ... all from the men!! The sharp-shooters were Andy Stockley (11th), Andy Steadman (14th), Paul Seymour (2nd), John Butcher (2nd), Russell Bowers (2nd & 14th) and Nick Turner (14th).

Pace of play
Again thanks to the players who put their finish times on the scorecards, please get into the habit of doing this as it helps us to identify the round times and where we can perhaps do our bit as a committee to try and improve things. But the bottom line is that it is the players responsibility to get round the course without delay and within our guidelines.
The average round time for this month's medal was 3hr 50m - slightly outside our target of 3h 45m. But for one of the early groups taking just over 4 hours, I think we would have easily met our target. It is obviously particularly important for the early groups to make good progress on the course, otherwise this has a knock-on effect. Please be aware of this especially when you are out in the first few groups. Thanks for your continued co-operation and support.
