Today was the final qualifying competition of the year
as the last two Wednesdays of the year will be Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve
and a lot of our members are away for the festive season. We had 26 members and
two guests playing Individual Stableford.
Despite the glorious weather, the overall results were lower than
average. Nobody reached 36 points and therefore the course played 3 strokes
above par. However, congratulations go to Keith, one of our octogenarians and
one of the founder members of the
Society, for a very good win. This being the Christmas season, the Captain obviously felt generous and agreed to award four extra prizes to accommodate both, the lower and higher handicap players. Results are shown below.
There was also the semi-final of the singles k/o competition being played in which Richard Davis beat Dennis Pyman. The final will now be between Richard and Michael Davison.
