NEWS – RESULTS – FIXTURES
Hello to all,
NEWS
We have now received the slope rating for playing off the front mats. This largely only impacts the mid week players when playing competitions. This tee set will be known as Green. The laminated sheet is being produced at the moment and will be on the notice board very soon. I have enabled the tee set on the PSI and on howdidido. So for clarity we now have four different slopes and tee sets;
WHITES – BACK GRASS TEES
BLUES – BACK WINTER MATS
YELLOW – FRONT GRASS TEES
GREEN – FRONT WINTER MATS.
RESULTS
The December Monthly Medal
We had 25 players this weekend. Division 1 was won by Dan Clement with a 77/6/71 beating Pete Robinson in to second place with an 81/7/74 and Iain McEwan third on 77/2/75
Division 2 was won by Chris Nash on 89/16/73 with Julian Walden second on 90/16/74 and Adam Johnson third with 92/16/76.
The adjustments made to try and even up the divisions that have been impacted by WHS seemed to work. Essentially anyone with a playing handicap of 15 or less went in Div 1 and above that into Div 2. We.will stick with that for now but continue to monitor things.
Birdie balls were won by Ali Fisher, Jamie Montgomery, Iain McEwan , Nigel Hammond and two lots by Chris Nash.
Well played and congratulations to all the winners !
ORDER OF MERIT
We are still not in a position to publish the final table as there are still a couple of competitions to complete but I can confirm that Phil Sanford can’t be caught and is the winner this year. Well done Phil ! It looked like a couple of late charges by Mick Edmunds and Peter Robinson could have taken it but as it turned out Phil held on to win.
UPCOMING FIXTURES / DATES

Lee’s Xmas Drinks & Golf – Saturday 21st December
Lee has already booked some tee times for around 9.30 on this day. There is still room for anyone else that wants to play and the sign up sheet is still on the notice board. There will be a non qualifying stableford competition off the green mats incorporating a £2, £2, £2 roll up with money going to the winners of the front 9, back 9 and overall. We already have pledges of nearest the pin prizes for all the par 3’s.
