Women

As has been the norm recently the number had dwindled to 6 by the Sunday but allowed for 2 teams of 3 to have a friendly scramble. It is always a surprise that the results are so close, but with both teams having 14 shots there was 1 difference in our scores.
Team Elisabeth, Kelly & Sheena bogeyed every hole on the front 9 but scrambled 5 pars on the back 9 to go with the other 4 bogeys giving them a gross 82.
Team Deb, Doreen & Susan by contrast started with 5 4s and were 2 shots ahead after 9 but despite par’ing 4 holes on the back they also had a couple of double bogeys ending with an 83.

Men

Perhaps it was a good sign that on the first day of the new month, the weather treated us better than forecast and was definitely on the milder side & we were back on the 2nd green again, albeit just the front of it, although they then added the 12th back in.
Some good scoring in both divisions today with no fewer than 8 birdie ‘2s’ listed on the results and 29 in total recorded.
Playing in his first comp since the beginning of January, Mel takes the honours today in Div1 with 41 points, 24 of which were recorded on the front 9 and was 4 ahead of a group of 3 tied on 37 points (Richard O, Iker and Michael).
In Div 2 Brian R followed up his 40 points midweek with another 40 today and took the honours on the back 9 from Charles who matched his score. 1 back was Billy on 39.

Today was also the last round in the Prince’s Eclectic which Charles has won with a net 59 from Mel on 60. Payout for this happens occurs at the same time as the Winter Comp results once that is over (which looks to be dependant upon Duke’s being open or not).

Taking rounds on Prince’s only for now, the Winter Comp leader is RichardO on 108 from Iker on 103 and Allan & Greg on 102.
