Winter Comp Rd 4 / Dukes Eclectic Rd 2

Posted in Competitions

Ladies

A lovely warm (relatively) and sunny day, a welcome respite after all the recent snow and rain brought benign conditions although the greens were soggy. The winner was Jayne Maxwell with 33 points followed by Cheryl Woodhouse with 31 points who pipped Susan Smith (also with 31 points) on the back 9. Results…

This competition was played neither off the red tees nor off the ladies winter mats and so was not played on a measured course (as defined in CONGU UHS) hence it was not a qualifier for handicapping purposes.

Jayne Maxwell leads after two rounds in the cumulative Duke’s Eclectic Competition. R2 Leader board…

Men

Kerry Sargeant (38 points) emerged the winner on a pleasantly sunny day following recent wintry conditions. He edged Steve Cross on the back 9 with a commendable one over par back 9. Steve has settled in at Richmond Park and has reduced his handicap by 2 since joining in late November, consistently scoring within ‘buffer’. Results…

Consistent play by Toby Hunt earns him leading position in the Winter Competition and Duke’s Eclectic (the latter shared with Kerry).
