Mens Noticeboard

The completion was played in extremely tough, windy and wet conditions, especially if you caught the morning deluge.  

This was reflected in the CSS which was 70.

Two players battled through better than the rest both scoring 69.  Jerry Dixon triumphed amongst the Vice Presidents and Matt Spiller won the Challenge Bowl trophy and the prize of an exclusive Tissot watch kindly donated by the Vice Presidents themselves.

On another warm afternoon with the course looking exceptional, the Monthly Medal was always going to be won with a low score.

Div 2 was won by Roy Parker with a gross 83 net score of 68 and the overall winner was Dan Featherstone with gross score of 70 nett 64. Well done to both and thanks to Brian Pennington for his support correlating the scoring.

What a Great Day was had by the 13 teams who played in the Captain's Charity Day on Friday 31st May.  Nearly £4,000 was raised from the event which was again organised by Brian Foden, this being his 23rd Charity Day. Thanks also to the Greenstaff, as the course was in exellect condition, and thanks to the Catering and Bar Staff for great good and drink in the day. The photos below show the winning team with the Captain and Brian.

The Comedians Cup was won on Saturday 25th May by Simon Barber and Gary Olsen.  They somewhat destroyed the field between them going round in 3 over par gross returning a rather majestic score of 49 points. Wow, very well played!!

Leading the rest of the pack in second place were Andy Hogg and Andrew Boyle on 45 points.

The presentation was run by "Mr Prez" Paul Penney whilst the Captain and Vice Captain were both away sunning themselves in warmer climes.

The first round of the Hospital Trophy was played on Saturday 11th May in blustery conditions although scoring was still reasonable particularly in the morning,

Chris Brandon was the winner of the round with a net 67 on countback from Mike Davies, Craig Aston , Mike Harding who also scored 67's - it was tight at the top of the leaderboard going into round two !

The second round was on Saturday 18th May with some excellent scoring in good dry conditions .

The round two winner with a superb score of net 62 was Rick Ford from Andrew Boyle (65) , Andrew Marshal (67) and Gary Johnstone (67).

The Hopital Trophy itself is played for over the aggregate of the two medal rounds.

In first place with an excellent aggregate score of 134 was Gary Johnstone.

This was on countback from Craig Aston who had the same score - shame we could not have two winners as both very worthy playing of low handicaps .

Third Place- Rick Ford (137)

Fourth Place -Andrew Boyle (138)

Fifth place - Ollie Lane (139)

The Captain awarded the large Hospital Trophy to Gary  (see photo)who advised that he had been trying to win this one for a very long time !

Simon Barber won the 2nd Division and overall May Monthly Medal with a nett 65 from Simon Allen, with a nett 66.

Drew Roberts won the 1st Division with a nett 67 from Andy Slater on 68.

All 4 qualify for the final in September.
