Light winds, warm with barely a spot of rain and good speed greens. It was a a good day for scoring as 31 players made 30+ points.
The clear winner was Henry with a gross score of 74 only 3 over par playing off 9. Second is Mike Assender playing off 12 with 39 points. 22 out and 17 back. 3 players had 38 and on countback Brian Ransom edged out Alex Braun and Mehmet Akdeniz who both had 39 out and back.
It was interesting that of the Five 2’s only 1 was on hole 10 and 4 were on hole 16.

The Centenary Trophy [For 100 yrs: 1924-2024]

Posted in Competitions

Fresher and less humid than of late with a breeze for the Centenary Trophy.

The early leader was Aidan Hurley net 66 including 3 birdies and his score remained best gross [74] of the day; Bill Norman challenged with 66 which included a fantastic back 9 of 2 over par and a flourish at the eighteenth – a birdie.
But the winner of the day was Alex Catlow in the last game with a glorious 65, adding to his recent good form; playing off 23 he just misses out on an ESR but his handicap will surely reduce. Tony Kopczak and Val Panatoni returned highly commendable 66s. Women were headed by Sali Davies 73.
This was the first of the 5 ‘Jubilees’ counting towards the Anniversary Cup.
