The first round of the winter session was played on a rather pleasant day. Very little rain and no wind.

There were 43 players in total, 23 from Division 1 & 20 from Division 2, note division 1 is now 21 hcap and under, division 2 is 22 hcap and over.

13 played above the zone (I’ve got them..!)

21 played in the zone

9 played below the zone

Three 2s were recorded, John Armstrong on the 5th, Peter Willson & John Higgins on the 9th,

So to the all important results;

In the 1st Division 7 players played better than their handicap, topped by a super score from our chairman with 36 points. John Armstrong has now seen his handicap docked five times in six rounds, surely a candidate for the most improved player!

In the 2nd Division, 6 players played better than their handicap, the leading score of the day belonging to Steve Bramall with 38 points. The familiar name of Phil Ormesher looms large again on the podium!

Happy Mondays – 8 January

Match Reporter: Peter Willson

17 intrepid golfers set out in cold wintery sunshine but mainly dry underfoot with little frost but still plenty of mud. 12 holes open – played on main greens 

However but the time the 6th hole was reached a stiff breeze sprang up and it was freezing! 

Everybody was pleased to reach the warmth of the clubhouse where the cards were scrutinised and the winners were:

Steve Bramall, Tommy Lawless and Alan Thomas with a very respectable team average of 24 points.  

2nd with 23.75 points Charlie Hill, Ken Pearce, Ron Thornton and Peter Willson
