Busy Times On The Golf Course

June 7, 2018 By editor

Saturday’s men’s event was the Monthly Medal, sponsored by BWR Accountants and Advisors. The field of 64 players had few standout scores and many calamities.

The A-grade winner was Peter Nixon, who was surprised to see that his score of 75 nett was enough to take the medal honours.

Runner-up on count back, was Ecky Dawson on 76 nett. The B-grade went to Graham Newport with a nett 70, the best score of the day. Runner-up was Martin Cahill, whose 73 nett was very gallant indeed.

The C-grade produced a wide range of results. Ash Tucker compiled 71 nett to be the winners. Runner-up was Graeme Hopkins with 73 nett, and who was especially pleased to enter the winners circle.

The ball sweep went to 76 nett on count back, going to: 70 – G Newport; 71 – A Tucker; 73 – G Hopkins, M Cahill; 74 – B Slack-Smith, A Borger, D Clarke, F Hanns; 75 – P Nixon and 76 – G Webb, P Dawson, B Everest, K Herbert, J Betland, P Barnes, J Haley, S French. The NTP’s went to: 9th – Richard Nixon; 18th – Paul Kay.

On Sunday the 27-hole Mixed Foursomes Championship was played, with fifteen pairings participating.

The scratch winners were A Dukes/ S Crosby with a total of 131. Their win was set up by a steadfast 85 scratch on the first 18-holes. Scratch runners-up, on count back, were A Grierson/ K Stirling with a 136 total.

The handicap winner honours also went to Dukes/Crosby, with a total of 109.5. Runners- up went to Stephen and Eve Uphill on 114.5. The Uphill’s produced the best net on the final-9 but they could not overcome some unfortunate penalties incurred on the 9th hole.

The ball sweep went to 116.5, going to:

Dukes/Crosby, Uphill/Uphill, A Cogswell Davies and Taylor/Cripps. The NTP’s went to: 9th – D Rhodes; 18th – T Griffiths. The 9th hole brought many pairings undone, especially on the final-9. While 3’s were common, so too were 5’s and worse.

The real shocker was a ‘9’.
