Seniors Bogey

A crispy start followed by some nice warm sunshine for today's senior competition. This was a bogey competition - matchplay against the par of the course. The course is a tough opponent to beat - never makes a mistake and never gives you anything, including those tricky two-footers that we all miss from time to time. Never missed one? You're lying!!!!

Today's winner who finished level with the course was Steve Vale. Runner-up on -1 was Roy Whiting followed by Rod Spring and Mike Miller on -2.

February Medal

A welcome break in the wet weather enabled us to play the February Medal today. Unfortunately, there were three temporary greens, so it was played as a non-qualifier. This was the last of the winter Stableford medals and nine players braved the chilly winds.

The clear winner with a superb 40pts was January winner Jeremy Twaits. Runner-up was Andrew Mead on 33pts followed by Mike Miller just one point further back.
