Monthly Medal / Ladies Committee Cup
Ladies
Showing a welcome return to form, Sonia Inniss’s 36 points gives her the lead in the first round of the Committee Cup. Jayne Maxwell is in 2nd place on 34 pts with Louise Williams 2 pts further back in 3rd. Results…
There was no change to the ladies’ SSS of 71 (36 pts equivalent) and no changes to any playing handicaps.
Men
Scoring was very good with nearly a third of the field (12 players) scoring better than or equal to the course SSS of 68. An in form Graeme Syme almost had back-to-back wins but had to settle for 2nd place, beaten on the back 9 by Alan Ingham playing in only his second club competition. Both scored excellent net 62’s. Nigel Ward took 3rd spot on net 63, Guy Saintfiet 4th (64) with Osman Chaudry & Paul Doran 5th & 6th respectively with net 65’s. Results…
The SSS decreased by 1 to 67.
After 4 rounds of the Grand Medal Trophy, Graeme Syme has a commanding lead (15 shots) over Richard Owen in 2nd:
Graeme Syme: 262 total (62/68/70/62)
Richard Owen: 277 total (63/73/75/66)

White Webbs
The Ladies A Team dropped out of the White Webbs competition at the 2nd round away at Hoebridge. More…
Whitewebbs – Team A Rd 2 at Hoebridge
Result: 1-4 Loss
The 5 strong Ladies team participated in a 2nd round match in the White Webbs on Sunday June 1st.
Hoebridge is a great home course and tricky for visiting teams. Sadly our ladies were beaten 4- 1. Ros Gray who is in great form won her match convincingly!
Thanks to all who participated.
Platinum Jubilee
The early rain cleared but conditions proved testing. An in-form Graeme Syme sparkled to win with 69, just one ahead of Gurpal Sekhon. President Julie Smith was best lady on the day with a 73, just piping Susan Smith on a back 9 count back. Results…
CSS was unchanged at SSS 70.
Shaw Cup
Against the run of play, Paul Doran recorded his lifetime best score with 44 points (45 off his handicap). Well done Paul. In second place, 8 points away, was Stan Potts. Ladies generally performed well with 3 – Lia Donath, Janet Fox and Louise Williams – returning 34 points; the latter 2 regretting not entering the sweep. Results…
The competition doubled as the NAPGC Stableford qualifier and entrants are indicated on the results sheet.
Men’s CSS was reduced from SSS 37 points to 36 points with 2 changes to playing handicaps.
Students of handicapping will be interested to know that Toby Hunt had 3 scores for the day since he signed for a higher score at a hole than actually taken:
- 33 points off his natural handicap for handicap record purposes
- 32 points for men’s NAPGC (competition result off natural handicap)
- 31 points for Shaw Cup (competition result with shot deducted to determine result for mixed handicap)
Who said handicapping was supposed to be simple!
Ladies’ Invitation
The low handicap pairing of Tracy Wright and Kerry Sargeant was at the head of a close finish amongst a large group, with just 6 points separating the top 12 games. More…
Stableford Sweep
A number of players played matches on this day which reduced the number of competitors, but a very clear winner emerged. Lee Eden triumphed with 37 points, 4 ahead of nearest rival Stan Potts. Best lady was Doreen Dolby with 31 points earning a sweep envelope. Results…
The results reveal that Sonia Inniss was one of just 2 players to record a ‘2′ and further down a scoring analysis of the mixed field will fascinate statisticians.
With no Category 1-3 men coming within 2 of SSS 35 points, the round was declared a ‘Reduction Only’ round for the men – a highly unusual event.
Monthly Medals
Ladies
Congratulations to Sheena Harrington who was the winner of the May Monthly Medal with a net 75. In 2nd place, 2 shots behind, was Rosalind Lake. Results…
This was a Reduction Only round for handicap.
Men
This was clearly a round which Guy could get his teeth into. With not a carie in the world he proceeded with a dismissive attitude of crowns on the greens with only decay visible at the 7th. A beaming sparkling smile at the clubhouse told all – a glorious 61. Results…
Coombe Wood Away Day
Dave Williams has prepared a rather soggy report about the recent successful away day held at nearby Coombe Wood. More…
Coronation Cup & Monthly Medals
Paul Doran is crowned as both the Coronation Cup and April Monthly Medal winner with a net 66, two clear of Graeme Syme. Best lady was Veronica Mitchell 74 on a count back last 3 from Louise Williams. Results…
Ladies
The Ladies’ April Monthly Medal, re-arranged from 6th April when the courses were unplayable due to snow, was finally won by Veronica Mitchell on net 75 who beat Louise Williams on the back 9. Results…
The CSS increased by 3 and this was a non-qualifier for handicapping.
The 27th April was also the qualifier for the NAPGC Ladies’ Championship of England which 10 ladies entered. The winners of the Silver (Julie Smith – net 78) and Bronze Divisions (Veronica Mitchell – net 75) are guaranteed a place in the final which takes place at Abbotsley GC on Sunday 17th August.
Men
Paul Doran won the postponed April Monthly Medal by two from Graeme Syme, with Nigel Marsh and Arthur Dolby a further shot back. Paul received his medal after dinner on the Coombe Wood Away Day. Results…
Men’s CSS was reduced from SSS 70 to 69 giving a couple of handicap changes.
