Spring Mixed
The first of the year’s mixed competitions was held on Saturday 13th April. Whilst not blisteringly hot it was the first of the better days of the year and the competition was fiercely fought with Nina Humphreys and Osman Chaudry missing out by one point to Jayne Maxwell and Paul Grand who scored 39 stableford points.
The rain at the end merely drove us all inside to finish the sandwiches and wine provided and we now look forward to a good turn out in May for the Ladies Invitation.
Coronation Cup
In early Spring conditions, competition was fierce for the Coronation Cup with good scoring generally. Indeed, there were 16 scores returned in the 60s.
The winner emerging was Darrin Siankoski with 62. Darrin kept a 6 off his card and his irons and putts were a joy to watch. Second was Susan Smith with an especially tidy back 9 crowned by a birdie on 18. In 2 weeks time that would be an eagle off the new Duke’s card – well done to Susan!
In third place was Hiro who shot the best gross – 3 over 71. Results…
Sweep
On the coldest Easter Sunday on record, 28 hardy souls ventured forth to play on a very empty course.
The 3 ladies’ results are not included as it is not possible to play a combined competition on a course with no SSS – but we would have needed a lot of shots to beat the winner.
As the scores seemed to get better in the later games, one can only assume that the early frozen ground didn’t help – either that or the extra sleep did!
The winner was Chris Jones with 43 points, followed by John Fordham on 42. In third place with 40 points was Osman Chaudry who beat Ed Henery on the back 9. Results…
Three Sixes Sweep
14 hardy souls turned up at the Park for a 6-6-6 sweep in occasional blizzard conditions on the Dukes course. 13 lasted the course, which remains very wet and muddy.
The winners are:
- Guy Williams 14 stableford points on holes 1 to 6
- Ed Henery 22 strokes on holes 7 to 12
- Ken Ukoku plus 1 bogey on holes 13 to 18

Spring Stableford Rd1 / Spring Meeting Rd1
Ladies
The change in weather last week prompted a number of ladies to dust off their clubs for this Sunday. However, the return of the cold winter conditions meant there was a considerable number of cancellations leaving 11 ladies in the Spring medal round. To no one’s surprise it ended as reduction only round, with the CSS rising by 3 shots. The winner with a net 74 was Emma Davies who was two shots ahead of Gina Jillett. Results…

Monthly Medal
Ladies
This was the first monthly medal of the year for the ladies. Played on the non-qualifying 9-hole Prince’s course it produced an interesting mix of results!
The first ladies’ 4-ball recorded five birdies, but it was Doreen Dolby in the second game who took the honours with an net 66, just beating Val Riziotis who despite two birdies on her card was one shot behind on net 67. Results…
Men
Somewhat milder and calmer conditions greeted players for the March Medal. Scores plummeted with three in the 50s with victory going to Ahmad on 58 with Paul Grand and Charles Ajani on 59. Results…
Winter Com Rd 8 / Dukes Eclectic Rd 4
Ladies
Eight ladies braved the bitter conditions, but the state of Duke’s was a pleasant surprise after all the weeks of wet weather. It had dried out quite considerably and the greens has been rolled and tined.
