The CSS increased by 3 (35 pts equivalent) and this was a Reduction Only round for handicap.
Men
Following scrutiny in the Handicap Secretary’s office, the prima facie winners have been disqualified under rule 6-6d for signing for wrong score at the 18th. Revised placings see Dave Winter & Paul Appleton the winners with 40 points, 2 ahead of Toby Hunt & Paul Grand. Results…
As holders of the Men’s Pairs Match Play Competition Kerry & Graeme will qualify in any account, so the disqualification will only affect this week’s sweep results and not the draw for this year’s competition. 2008 Draw…

Whitewebbs – Team B Rd 1 at Portsmouth
Result: 3-2 Loss
Richmond Park B team travelled to Portsmouth for the first round of the competition – against last year’s winners. It was a tough draw for Team B, consisting of Tracy Wright, Lorna White, Maureen Slade, Jayne Maxwell and Ann Gardner.
The match was played in wind and rain on a beautiful, challenging Portsmouth course in a closely contested match that went right up to the last game. We lost 2-3 but we all had fun and all played extremely well against tough opposition.
Well done to all the team especially in coming so close against a very good opponent on a difficult course!
