A fine pleasant day, at times quite warm even. However about a third of the field scored 30+ with one outstanding score of 47 points by Jeremy Prescot. 25 points on the front and 22 on the back. Im sure WHS will suitably reward him. Kim Jabbour was 2nd 21 out and 18 back for his 39 points. Tams Ladacs continued his good form with his 38 one point ahead of Justin Wildman with 37. Jonathon Evans just pipped Tom Simkins on countback into 5th Place.

The predicted rain did eventually arrive but the impact on play was minimal.

Excellent scoring in the Burgess Cup (Greensomes); the pairing of Steve De Long and Maher Sharma ran away with it returning 48 points – 24 out and in. 2nd were Tamas Ladacs and Alex Fraser-Cannon on countback 42 points from Olav Bridie and Allan Boyd. Of the 3 next [airings with 0 points, Adrian Wells an Charles Haines had a stellar front 9 with 25 points but fell back on the last 9 with just 15.

A pleasant day for golf, overcast and not cold. Which suited most players. About half the field scored 30+ points with only 3 clubs and a putter.

Thomas Ladacs clearly chose his correct clubs with an amazing score of 41 points. 20 out and 21 back having only 2’s and 3’s pointers on his card.
He was 5 points ahead of Brett Colley and Peter Harrington on 36 points with Brett just edging 2nd place on countback.
Chris Rudkin just beat last years winner Peppe Monterosso also on countback into 4th place with his 34 points.

A bright autumn day for round 8of te Grand Medal.

In the second division Suhail Salim reigned supreme 64 from Charlie Whitemen 66 which could have been even better except for last 2 holes. Next were commendable 67s from Richard Young, Nigel Ward and James Deissler.
This was final round in the Grand Medal which sees Iker Lanzagorta confirmed as first division winner 339 a point from Richard Owen 340.In second division Charlie Whiteman wins348 from Seymour Laird and Rannesh Jansari 350.

The weather was overcast but warm with a heavy air. The greens were a little slow but maybe that was just a reflection of my putting.
Playing off the Red pars and index was novel for the men off the white tees.
However, Dave Cato and Julian James dovetailed well with 21 points out and 24 back for their 45 points. Their scorecard had 9 x 3 pointers and 1 x 4 points for a birdie plus no 1 point scores,quite impressive!!
Runners up on countback were Shrila Amin and Pepe Monterosso with 42 points.

An enjoyable day was had by all.
