Wendy On The March Again
The August Monthly Weekday Stableford was played on 20th/21st August.
Wendy Seymour took the main prize with a commendable 41 pts.
Runner-up was John Graham with 37 pts just ahead of two others on 36 pts (Richard Aldred and Tim McAuley). Full result.
I think Wendy must have her eye on the Order of Merit again - she has now closed to within 10 pts of Andrew Buchanan at the top.

Double for Curtis
On Thursday 20th August, the Junior Club Championship was played over 36 holes.
Although the number of competitors was down on last year, the quality of golf played was of a very high standard. At the end of 36 holes, there was a tie on gross scores between Curtis Macgeever and George Stockley carding identical rounds of 73 and 76. In the resulting play-off Curtis just managed to fend off George to take the title to make it a double with the Club Championship he won back in June. Third place went to Lloyd Childs (78+74), with Aaron Stockley two shots behind with two identical rounds of 77. Full Gross Result.
The tables were turned in the nett category with George Stockley taking the honours with a score of 137 (67+70). Curtis was second with 139 (68+71). Full Nett Result.
A special mention to young Danny Glover who played in his first big event - well done Danny.
