Champagne Chase
Ladies
The coldest day of the year so far dawned for the Champagne Chase with temperatures of -4 degrees centigrade and less, frosty fairways even frostier greens and some very strange bounces! But then the sun came out and we all felt a lot better! Lia Donath won with 36 points and Jayne Maxwell was second with 31 points. Results…
Men
A sparkling 40 points earned Tony McCullagh victory in the competition and a bottle of champagne. Bubbling nicely 2 points behind was Jim Fogarty with an effervescent Kerry Sargeant taking 3rd place with 36 points. Conditions were tricky with a hard frost in the ground. Jim saved the comp from being a reduction only round. Results…

After all her hard work in helping to arrange the Dinner Dance, Veronica Mitchell was rewarded with a hole in one on the third. Many congratulations Veronica! The hole in one was duly celebrated with a few beers afterwards, even though the café shuts early these days!
Men
Conditions were played off white tees in ‘the wrong kind of mud’ which no doubt distracted a number of competitors. It was just right for heavy going specialist Matt Mandelbaum who won with a very creditable 40 points, 7 ahead of nearest rival Nick Rogers – earning a 4 playing shot reduction. Results…
Nick prevented a QRO round, being the only Cat 1-3 player within 2 of SSS 35. CSS was 3 under SSS 35 at 32. View Calculation…
Paul Doran takes the early lead in the Duke’s Eclectic from Matt, whilst Nick is one ahead in the Winter Competition.
