Winter Comp Rd 5 / Dukes Eclectic Rd 3
Ladies
Another reduction only round (QRO) for the ladies as the 10 who took to the field just avoided the new 2012 CONGU rules for ‘small fields’, or most of us would have got 0.1 back.
With the cold air and fairly muddy conditions underfoot, the ball wasn’t running very much making scoring difficult for most, although there were several good front 9 scores that then collapsed on the back half. Veronica Mitchell just pipped Jayne Maxwell to take first place, both coming in with 34 points. Results…
After 3 rounds of the Duke’s Eclectic, the scores are very close with 8 ladies within 5 shots of each other, leaving all to play for in the final round. The current leader is Sheena Harrington on net 76 followed by Val Riziotis one shot back on 77 and Cheryl Woodhouse, Maureen Slade and Lia Donath on 78. R3 Leader board…
Men
Mud caused variable bounce and greens pace was markedly variable so scoring suffered generally. But Nick Rogers was the decisive winner by one point on 39 from Matt Mandelbaum, Paul Appleton and Paul Doran. CSS was SSS +1, i.e. stableford SSS 38-1=37. Results… | Best scores…
Nick also leads the associated Winter Competition by one point from Cuneyt Sazer. R5 Leader board…
In the Duke’s Eclectic, Paul Doran is our leader on 63, one ahead of Ed Henery, Nigel Ward & Nick Rogers. R3 Leader board…
Winter Comp Rd 4 / Princes Eclectic Rd 2
Ladies
For the second week running, the weather seemed to be the cause of some low scores for the ladies making it another reduction only day. Maureen Slade capped her hole-in-one on the 13th by winning today’s competition by 1 point from Jayne & Val who both had 30 points. No doubt if Maureen hadn’t aced the 13th she would have scored on the last 3 holes showing that the wind didn’t affect everyone. Sadly she didn’t see the ball into the hole as the green can’t be seen from the tee – but it counts just the same. Congratulations Maureen. Results…
Men
The wind provided challenge for competitors but Rick Smith prevailed to win the 4th round of the winter competition on 42 points. A point behind were new member Roger Darkins and Jon Cooper. CSS remained at SSS 40 points. Seven ‘Twos’ were recorded – five on 13th. Results…
In the associated Winter Competition, Cuneyt Sazer has the best 3 from 4 rounds to date, three ahead of Jon Cooper and Julian James. R4 Leader board…

Winter Comp Rd 3 / Dukes Eclectic Rd 2
Ladies
The frozen ground and dazzling sun made for some interesting conditions as is reflected in the scores. The change in conditions from her holiday golf obviously didn’t cause Cheryl too many problems though and she just pipped Maureen to win this round on the back 6. Both ladies scored 32 points resulting in a reduction only round for handicapping purposes. Results…
