Ladies

On an overcast day, Sonia Innis took full advantage of benign conditions with a stonking net 69, leaving the rest of the field trailing in her wake. Lia Donath was 2nd with a distant 75. Results…

But for us mere mortals there is a God! Sonia’s handicap, hitherto 30, meant that her score did not count towards calculation of the CSS, so this was a reduction only round with the CSS increasing by 3 from the SSS of 71. Furthermore, the increase in CSS means that Sonia is rewarded not just with the medal but also a massive handicap cut from 30 to 27.2! Ladies handicap list…

Men

The first meteorological day of Spring produced favourable conditions with Nigel Ward (again) and John Pieters taking full advantage with both returning 61s. A count back placed Nigel first with a gross 37 net 26.5 back 9. Very creditable scores were also returned from Richard Kenwood 63, Gary Flounders 64 and Abdulaziz 65. Results…

A loose drive at 13 found Kerry Sargeant 2 inches OB. Undeterred, he resolved nevertheless that he could still get ‘cut’ as the resulting 8 would count as 6 for handicapping purposes. Showing true grit, he then proceeded to finish the remaining holes in par (inc. 2 birdies) – and regained Category 1 status.

The RoG resulted in a disqualification for Johannes (too high a handicap declared).

The competition sheet details a number of playing handicap changes with CSS equal to SSS 68. Men’s handicap list…
