January Medal

The winter medal certainly lived up to its name today with a cold easterly wind, rain, sleet and some snow all in the same day!! Nevertheless, twenty-eight hardy souls completed their rounds in this Stableford competition with some excellent scores returned. Once again it was a non-qualifier, but we should be back to playing qualifiers again next month. As there were less than 30 players, the medal was played in two divisions for the men (Div1 - 0-14, Div2 - 15-28) and there was a separate medal for the six ladies.

Men Division 1
In the 14 and under division, Mark Richardson was the victor with an excellent 40pts. Runner-up was Josh Wallin who just pipped Sean Sargeant on count-back after both scored 38pts. Full result - click here.

Men Division 2
The 15-28 handicap winner was Rowland Barnfield who posted an early 38pts which was not bettered. Runner-up was Paul Hickey on 36pts followed by Roy Whiting on 34pts. Full result - click here.
