Winter Comp Rd 4 / Dukes Eclectic Rd 2
Ladies
A lovely warm (relatively) and sunny day, a welcome respite after all the recent snow and rain brought benign conditions although the greens were soggy. The winner was Jayne Maxwell with 33 points followed by Cheryl Woodhouse with 31 points who pipped Susan Smith (also with 31 points) on the back 9. Results…
This competition was played neither off the red tees nor off the ladies winter mats and so was not played on a measured course (as defined in CONGU UHS) hence it was not a qualifier for handicapping purposes.
Jayne Maxwell leads after two rounds in the cumulative Duke’s Eclectic Competition. R2 Leader board…
Men
Kerry Sargeant (38 points) emerged the winner on a pleasantly sunny day following recent wintry conditions. He edged Steve Cross on the back 9 with a commendable one over par back 9.

American Greensomes
Paul Doran and Stewart McDonald triumphed with 40 points, five ahead of Paul Grand and Cheryl Woodhouse. Results…
The popular format of American Greensomes incorporated a first for the club – play off own tees but score using the ladies’ par and SI. Confusing for some, but the orthodox recommendation of CONGU, the national governing for handicapping in the UK, is as follows –
“……use of the Ladies’ Par and Stroke Index is recommended as this does not then require ladies to play holes than have a lower Par than CONGU would recommend. It does mean that the men will return somewhat higher scores than against their own Par however to do otherwise would militate against ladies making an appropriate contribution.â€
Christmas Hamper
With men and ladies playing off mats, men ceded 2 shots. The winner was Philip Midgeley-Carver with 39 points on a back 9 count-back from Aidan Hurley. John Morris and Matt Mandelbaum posted creditable 38s to take 3rd and 4th places. Kate Emanuel played well to take best ladies’ position. Results…
Captain Richard Owen, playing in the same game as Philip and Aidan, was treated to a fine display of golf and competition – Philip shooting 1 under par gross and Aidan level par. Philip had an immaculate start – 3333.
