Wednesday 20 April Stableford:
Alan Johnston is a stalwart at our golf club, he has been involved in every aspect of administrative life off the course and has been, perennially, a most consistent performer on the course. So, it is only fitting that A.J. gets his “just rewards” when it comes to the distribution of vouchers. Alan collected another one this week for the best score in the 40plus field! His total of 39 points was a clear winner, with another popular club member, Paul-Kennedy, grabbing the R/up prize, with 38 impressive points. Well done to both men, loyal members, over a long period of time.
Balls got all the way down to 31! NTP’s were won by Noel-Cross, (3rd), Hatty, (5th), Your Loyal Scribe, (9th), Mario De Vincentis, (12th) and to Steuart-Hawke, (15th).
Saturday 23 April Stroke & first round of our 2022 Club-Championships:
As expected, a very healthy field of 60 plus set off on the long 3-round journey that constitutes the Club’s annual championships.
And, as usual, there were some really impressive scores and a few horrible ones. In the daily comp, the A-Grade voucher, achieved with the lowest Nett score on the day, was won by- Luke-Patrick, recording a sensational Nett 63. Our B-Grade winner was Sean “Bruno” Kennedy, with a Nett 67.
Because of the large field there was a C-Grade winner, too – that was Stuart-Patrick, on a C’back with a 69.
There were, therefore, 3 R/ups, being Paul-Kennedy, (a superb 64), Steuart-Hawke, ( a Nett 71) and, in C-Grade, Robert-Scott, (69).
In a logjam, ball-winners only extended to Nett 71. NTP winners were Michael-Pinkster, (3rd), Jon-Cross, (5th), Luke-Patrick, (9th) Steve-Patrick, (12th) and to Sam-Dennis, (15th).
Current C/Championship standings are as follows:
After Round 1, Paul-Mason and Jon-Cross lead the Open with impressive 69’s.
Sean-Kennedy and Steuart-Hawke fill the top placings in B-Grade with 80 and 87 respectively.
In C-Grade, Stu-Patrick leads with a solid 91 and Tim-Blanche trails Stu by just 2.
In the Ladies’ Championships, Meredith-Nursey leads Kim-Kennedy by one shot, as they recorded 75 and 76 respectively.
