Autumn League – Round 2 of 8

Reporter: Paul Foster

The second round of the Autumn session was played on a day where most members looked out of their bedroom window before play expecting the course to be closed, but it turned out a rather pleasant day. Little rain and no wind. Perfect for low scoring. I love days like today when 20 players had their handicap docked…marvellous…

One incorrect handicap used last week, but five incorrect handicaps used this week, you know who you are, please read the handicap page for your up to date handicap.

There were 46 players in total, 34 from Division 1 & 12 from Division 2, plus newcomer Brendon Laing completing his first of three cards for handicap purposes

20 played below their handicap (I’ve got them..!)
5 played to their handicap
21 played over their handicap

Four 2s were recorded, Steve Gosling on the 2nd, Paul Foster on the 5th, Martin Franks & Mark Marsland on the 9th,

So to the all important results; A very close finish in the 1st Division with

5 players scoring 35pts!

Division 2 Results

Winner         –         Stuart Baird with a remarkable 38pts
