Autumn League round 3 of 10

Reporter: Paul Foster

Yet another fine and pleasant autumnal day. Little wind and pleasant temperatures greeted the players on the day of the ABM meeting and trophy presentation.

A session high of 43 players completed the 13 holes that were open to us after some horrendous rain in the last few days, 28 players from Division 1, and 15 players from Division 2.

Carrying on the theme of ‘who can beat their handicap’, to date after 3 rounds of the Autumn League, that’s 111 rounds between us, still only 1 player has beat his handicap…Dave Meir..

Four 2s were recorded today: all the P’s.. Paul Collins, Paul Foster, Peter White & Peter Willson.

After the round, there followed a witty speech detailing last years activities, and then the presentation of the previous years trophy winners by the outgoing chairman Mike Bennett, followed by a sumptuous steak pie and chips dinner, swilled down by wine supplied by Mike. Thanks Mike!

A few incorrect handicaps/markings/scores/totals had to be weeded out of the marked cards to balance with the Ig inputs.

The 13 hole scores have been rounded up to a 15 hole total for each player.

Division 1 Results:

Winner – Martin Franks with 30pts on a cpo
R/up – Mike Pigott with 30 pts
3rd – Dave Meir with 29pts

Division 2 Results:

Winner – Stuart Baird with 30pts
R/up – Peter Willson with 25 pts on a cpo
3rd – Alan Copeland with 25 pts

Still leader in the 1st division is Martin Franks with 88 points, Dave Meir and Richard Smyllie still complete the top three.

Leader in the 2nd division is now Alan Copeland, with 80 pts, closely followed by Steve Bramall and Dave Craggs.

Happy Mondays, 21st October

A dry day, if a little chilly to start with, it warmed up and the sun came out by the end of the round. The leaves are gathering following Storm Ashley over the weekend – but the big red sucker leaf gatherer has been wheeled out to rid us of the green/orange/russet/brown peril – great job by the green staff
