Senior Captain's Day

Today's event for the seniors was Seniors Captain's Day organised by our esteemed outgoing seniors captain John Day. I think I speak for all the seniors at the club in saying that John has done a superb job as captain in organising all the year's competitions, matches and events and representing the seniors at committee meetings, etc. After the golf today, we were treated to a buffet lunch courtesy of John. Thank-you and well done John!!

The competition (courtesy of Mr Perrin) was an interesting variation of a 1-2-3 team Stableford with one score in the team counting on par 5's two on par 4's and all three on par 3's. Eight teams took part.

The winning team with an excellent score of 79pts were Les Eden, Geoff Denner & Mike Workman. Runners-up with 74pts were Allan Trotman, Derrick Perrin & Gordon Turner followed by Richard Hook, Sandy Deacon & Steve Thompson just one point behind.

Presentation Evening

The annual NRGC Presentation Evening was held last night at Newbury & Crookham clubhouse to present all the trophies won during the 2014 season. A slightly smaller event than normal but nevertheless an very good evening.
An excellent meal was supplied and served by the catering staff at Newbury & Crookham followed by the prize giving. Thanks to the Captains (Dean Butler, Sian Soanes & John Day) and the rest of the committee for organising another great event.

January Medal

The rescheduled January Stableford Medal was played today in much better conditions - even some sunshine thrown in for good measure!! A small field of just fifteen players but just enough to squeeze in two mixed divisions.
In division 1 Andrew Mead continued his good form by finishing top on 35pts. The runner-up spot was decided on count-back with Jeremy Twaits just edging out John Butcher after both recorded 31pts. Full result -- click here.
In division 2 senior stalwart Brian Grace topped the list with 30pts followed by Ken Kenyon (29pts) and Mike Miller (28pts). Full result - click here.

No two's were recorded this time so any monies will roll over to the February medal next week.

This is the third out of the four winter Stableford medals that count towards the Winter Medal Aggregate (best 3 Stableford scores from the 4 winter Stableford medals). It couldn't be closer with one medal to go. John Butcher, Jeremy Twaits and Mike Miller are all tied at the top on 95pts. Latest standings - click here. (Only those who have played 3 winter medals are shown).
