Midweek Winter Comp Rd 7
The course was still suffering from the rain of the last couple of days. Muddy fairways and 3 temporary greens were part of the challenges. Because of the number of temporary greens the committee was forced to declare today’s competition a Non-Qualifier.
Usual suspect Brett Colley was leader in the clubhouse with 36pts. The day belonged to Raymond Esin who was a model of consistency over 18 holes. 20pts out combined with 21pts in vaulted him to victory. Outgoing midweek captain Richard Owen netted 36pts and beat 4 players (Brett Colley, Jeremy Ryan, Adam Turner and Henry L-B) by virtue of countback to finish 3rd. Results…
Special mention goes to Ladies Captain Alison Chadwick who holed out a hybrid on the Par 5 12th to birdie the hole (and score 5pts !)

Men
Wind, muddy fairways, slower greens made the course play pretty long today. One temporary green on the 11th hole created an additional challenge.
Honours to the early starters. Eric Lit had a brilliant round with three birdies and posted a net 67 to become leader in the clubhouse. Caleb Mills carded a very nice net 69 to finish second. Jay’s eagle on the 11th put him on route to a net 70 to take 3rd. Sunny Lall, Keith Cassidy and Peter Osgood all posted net 72 to complete the Top 6. The late starters were not able to mount a serious challenge. Henry L-B came close. But his wayward back 9 prevented him from finishing higher. Results…
CSS: 71
Midweek Winter Comp Rd 6
The rain of the past days had a serious impact on the course yesterday. Casual water, no roll on the fairways and softer (slower but holding) greens were some of the challenges for the field. But it has to be said that the players were up for it. Scoring turned out be excellent.
Henry L-B and Brett Colley were among the early starters and posted a score of 38pts to become leaders in the clubhouse. But the late(r) starters were on fire. Paul House posted an excellent score of 40pts (20pts out and 20pts in) to vault into first place. Paul Rockett’s outward 9 score of 22pts and a hot putter on the back 9 helpded him leap over Paul H. with 41pts. Darren Enthoven matched Paul R’s score of 41pts but by virtue of a better back 9 victory belongs to Darren. Keith Cassidy (and Stella) finishes 4th to complete the Top 6. Results…
CSS: 37pts

Winter Comp Rd 5 / Princes Eclectic Rd 2
Ladies
With dire weather forecast, the field was down to 6, who enjoyed a virtually dry round. Conditions were very different from last Sunday and the greens seemed very slow in comparison. Perhaps not having experienced such a contrast helped the runaway winner, Cheryl Woodhouse who shot 39 points, some seven ahead of Alison Chadwick. Results…
CSS was 36 points, giving Cheryl a cut of 1.2 in handicap.
In the accompanying Eclectic, Sheena Harrington is 0.5 ahead of Cheryl and Joan Mulcahy. However, at this stage there are still only 5 ladies with a score recorded for every hole – there is still all to play for. R3 Leader board…
Men
The cloudy weather inspired a lot of players to some very good golf today. Maybe the greens were a bit more predictable and just a bit slower than the previous days. Lots of birdies were the result.
Top honours go to Mark Rosamond who posted an excellent score of 42pts. Barry Page proved he can score in icy conditions and softer weather by finishing second on 41pts. Tony K. (39pts), Henry L-B (39pts), Paul Concannon (39pts) and Roger Rojas (38pts) complete the Top 6. Results…
CSS ended at 37pts.

Midweek Winter Comp Rd 5
Conditions were pretty similar to last Sunday. Predicting the bounce of the balls on fairways/greens proved near impossible. Avoiding the bunkers also proved very useful. Splashing out of the sand traps was very tricky. On top of that the early starters had to face some fog.
In light of all the above the Committee decided to make today’s comp a Non-Qualifier.
Early starters Ray Esin and Paul Concannon (both on 34pts) were the leaders in the clubhouse. In the end they were narrowly beaten Kim Chaffart truly and Paul House (both on 35pts). Kim just edged Paul on countback to win the comp. Jay Barker and Richard Owen completed the Top 6. Results…

Winter Comp Rd 4 / Dukes Eclectic Rd 3
Ladies
A beautiful winter’s day, but the frozen ground produced some interesting results – making winners out of otherwise bad shots and trouble from some good ones. Needless to say some fared better than others and scores were pretty varied. The winning score of 33 points was shared between Sheena Harrington & Jane Fraser, with Sheena taking it on the back 9. Results…
In the associated Eclectic, Susan’s lead after 3 rounds has not been diminished, remaining 3.5 shots ahead of Jayne Maxwell. No change from the previous round. R3 Leader board…
Men
The day clearly belonged to the later starters. Only Jay seemed to be able to handle the tricky conditions amongst the early birds. 34pts was good enough for the lead in the clubhouse. But as highlighted honours to the 10.00AM starters. Paul Concannon posted a stunning 42pts. Unfortunately that still didn’t prove enough to win the day’s comp. Barry Page netted 24pts on the front 9 and then cruised to victory with 21pts on his way in. Sunny, Roger and Phil complete the Top 6. Results…

Midweek Winter Comp Rd 4
Winter golf came back with a vengeance today. The field were met with frosty greens and fairways. Paul Concannon looked like the best skater for a long time by posting a thumping 38pts. He was closely followed by one of the other early morning starters. Brett Colley kept up his excellent form and notched up 37pts. But the day belonged to Ray Esin: 21pts out and 18pts in (no score on the 16th hole prevented him from scoring even more points !) vaulted him into 1st place. Ted Holt beat Mike Jones and Jay Barker on countback (all scored 36pts) to finish 4th. Results…
CSS finished at 37pts. Ray is the only player getting a handicap cut.
