Wednesday 3 May, Stroke and M. McGrann bag-day:
Being generous, but given the inclement weather early on Wednesday every member who completed their full 18-holer round, deserves a ball. The conditions, though, did not stop some hardy players from returning a decent result. The most decent of these, (and he is indeed a decent bloke), was posted by Paul Kennedy. A Nett 69 was enough to see P.K. qualify for the bag that is on offer at the end of the year. The runner-up, with another decent result of Nett 70, was Barry Maltman. Good work, Baz.
Balls, not unexpectantly, reached to a Nett 74. The NTP winners on the day were Ken Barratt (3rd), Laurie Doyle (5th), Ross Machar (9th), Dale Horrobin (12th) and Ineke De Graaf (15th).
Saturday 6 May, Stroke and Monthly Medal:
As if stroke events weren’t enough following the recent Club Championships, they have been followed up immediately with the Monthly Medal. But, clearly, one member who loves playing stroke is Aaron Henderson, who returned a superb Nett 64 to win the May Monthly Medal. Ryan-Wilson was a distant runner-up but returned a creditable Nett 69 in quite challenging conditions. Players who posted a Nett 73, or better, can claim a ball next time they’re in the Pro shop. NTPs were claimed by Paul Kennedy (3rd and 5th—great job, P.K.), Jim Stewart (9th), Aaron Henderson (12th) and Paul Osborne (15th).
