November Greensomes

After a foggy start, the weather gradually improved and by midday it was a perfect autumnal day for playing golf with pleasant sunshine and very little wind. Thanks again to the green staff for their very early work this morning preparing the course. Twenty-six pairings teed it up today for the November Greensomes Stableford, which was played from the yellow tees for men using the ladies card.
It certainly gets harder and harder to win competitions these days and, as today's scores show, this competition was no exception with the top 12 pairings scoring 40 points or more!! The winners today with a record equalling score in this competition of 46 points were Wayne Arnold and Patrick Brind. Runners-up were John Baron and Kim Richardson who just squeaked in front of Paul Tebbutt and Stuart Briginshaw on countback courtesy of a back nine of 23 to 22 after both teams scored 44 points. Mark France and Shey Walder claimed fourth spot with a very creditable 43 points.

Order of Merit
Today was the last counting competition for the Order of Merit title this year. Any of the top three in the table could have won it today, but with all three failing to score more than one OOM point apiece, the title was decided on countback. Ian Folwell was the winner from unlucky Andrew Buchanan who has led the table for most of this year. Third place goes to Sarah Purvis just three points behind the leading two.
