Ladies

The medal round of the Spring meeting saw 13 ladies tee’ing off on a relatively dry underfoot (although not overhead) Duke’s course.

There were some mixed fortunes out there, but the runaway winner was the ever-steady Jayne with a net 69. In second place was Lorna, making a welcome return to the park, with a net 72. Best front 9 was taken by Val, with a net 36.5 and best back 9 by Gina with a net 35. Results…

Men

The clear winner emerging in unexpectedly wet conditions was Simon Mandelbaum with 44 points, four ahead of Toby Hunt with Mike Rowe and Paul Brown two further behind. Well done to Simon who earns a 3 shot handicap reduction. Results…

Celebrations were in order after the round with Paul scoring the first hole in one of the year – and his first ever. Holes in one…

Ladies

The first monthly medal of 2011 was won in style by the lady captain, Susan, with a net 69 which was five shots in front of Rianda in second place on a net 74. After last week’s mud bath it was a cold but much drier day, both underfoot and overhead, but with the exception of these two, the scores for the ladies did not reflect this significant improvement in conditions. Results…

Men

In somewhat drier conditions than of late, John Morris was the deserved winner with an excellent 62, Tony Kopczak 2nd on 63 and Hiro Ushido 3rd on 64. All very commendable scores which give an early advantage in the Grand Medal Trophy. R1 Leader board…
