Competition Reports
Christmas Hamper
The deserved and clear winner by 3 points is our Treasurer, Dave Williams who returned 40 points scored in frost and fog that came and went (possibly exacerbated by the fuel fire). Gurpal Sekhon and Tony Pickard challenged with 37 and 36 respectively. In the ladies section, Tracy Wright put in another sterling performance for 35 points. Results…
With at least 9 temporary greens, the event was of course a non-qualifier for handicapping purposes.
A warm portacabin fire welcomed all – along with some drinks refreshments ‘super-cooled’.
Monthly Medal
LADIES
Well done to Tracy Wright who with a net 68 earned her third consecutive monthly medal. In 2nd place was Jan Oliver with a net 74. Results…
This was a non-qualifying competition for handicap.
With only one round to go in the LGU Silver Medal, Tracy Wright has a virtually unassailable lead thanks to good performances in the last 3 monthly medals. In 2nd place is Sheena Harrington.
Again with just one round to go in the LGU Bronze Medal, Cheryl Woodhouse leads by 7 shots over Ann Gardner.
MEN
Bill McSorley clinched the medal with a barn-storming 61. A birdie at the first set the tone for the round and but for a 7 at 16 a 59 or lower was on the cards. Excellent scoring followed from Messrs. Fogarty, Sargeant and Eden with 63s and 64s, with special mention for Kerry with a level par 69. Results…
With 2 temporaries, the round was a non-qualifier. Men’s handicap list…

Champagne Chase
LADIES
Di Jackett romped away to win the Ladies’ Champagne Chase comfortably with 40 pts from Cheryl Woodhouse in 2nd on 37 pts. Sheena Harrington squeezed into 3rd place on 33 pts but only by a nose from Tracy Wright (best back 6 actually!). Results…
The CSS remained unchanged at 38 pts, unfortunately not enough to cut Di’s playing handicap.
MEN
Winner of the bottle of champagne was Peter Harrington with 41 well deserved points – closely followed a point behind by Ian Smith and Arthur Dolby. Results…
CSS remained at SSS 38 points and Peter earned a handicap reduction to 12 (the only playing handicap change). Men’s handicap list…

Winter Competition Rd 2
LADIES
18 provisional greens posed no problems to Sheena Harrington who was the clear winner in the Ladies Stableford competition with 34 points. In 2nd place, after several week’s break from golf due to injury (beware the injured golfer!) was Lia Donath on 32 points. Results…
This was a non-qualifying competition for handicap due to the aforementioned provisional greens.

Results…
There are no handicap changes since this was a non-qualifying round. Men’s handicap list…
Richard Owen has taken a strong lead in the Winter Competition after 2 rounds played (84 points), nine ahead of Jason Loubser in 2nd with Tim Meyer and Peter Harrington joint 3rd on 74 points.
The Prince’s Eclectic results will be available when Paul returns from holiday!
Winter Competition Rd 1
LADIES
Proving that several weeks’ break from golf doesn’t necessarily harm your game, Di Jackett won the first round of the ladies’ Dukes Eclectic with 33 points, with Jini Beacham one point behind in second. Results…
Since the scores were relatively low, this was a Reduction Only round for handicap.
Only 3 ladies – Sheena, Jini & Cheryl – managed to complete all the holes for the Eclectic. Sheena currently leads on net 86.5 (off half handicap).
MEN
Graeme Syme put together a solid opening Winter Competition round winning on 41 points, two ahead of Toby Stevenson and Dave Williams. Results…
Reflecting the benign conditions, scoring was generally good, elevating CSS to 39 from 38. Men’s handicap list…
There was a fair sprinkling of birdies in the first round of the Duke’s Eclectic. On top at present are Paul Appleton and Dave Williams on 71.5 after half handicap allowance.
Autumn Meeting Better Ball (Ladies)
The ladies had a well-attended second half of their Autumn Meeting playing a 4-ball better ball followed by tea and snacks in the ‘clubhouse’. With Cheryl providing not only the food but also the camping stove from which teas and coffees were made, a cosy gathering was had. Outstanding monthly medal glasses were presented along with prizes for both the day’s event and the autumn meeting medal round.
A few eyebrows were raised when the results of the day were announced since Sheena, Cheryl, Maureen and Lorna were all playing in the same game! However, the results were achieved in very different fashion with Maureen and Lorna dovetailing in good better ball style whereas Sheena & Cheryl took one 9 each in the scoring. Results…
Ladies Dowling Cup
In her 21st year of golf with the Club, Julie Smith managed to win the Dowling Cup for the first time with an aggregate score of 423 (best 6). Veronica Mitchell was 2 shots adrift with last year’s winner, Sheena Harrington, a creditable 3rd on 426. Results…
