It's Springtime & Medal Qualifiers off White's
but reductions only today

Summer Knockout Draw was done and updated on page ...Bob Dennett (6) versus John Sweet (36) is the pick of the pairings.

"What amazed me, when we did the Draw, was how many people said 'Who's he ?' - so it's a good way to get to know each other better,.

Large turnout today for the first qualifier of the season. 

Medal rounds off White tees is usually the least popular monthly format


so it is pleasing to see 26 players competing in Division One and almost the same number of players 29 competing in Division Two.


I'm sure everyone felt it was a different ball game off the whites after the luxury of using forward tees throughout the winter and this was reflected in the overall scoring. 




Standard scratch was calculated at 72 and this resulted 
in only one player having a  handicap reduction.

 Congratulations to Bill Hilson with a Nett 69 being cut from 25 to 24. 
Fred Oliver also lost 0.4 but no-one else was adjusted which can be seen on the main site. 

Also well done to Martin B., fresh from his holiday in taking Division One.

Malcolm had an amazing recovery, with an 9,4,6,9 start..
he completed the back 9 in Nett Par 34 strokes.

Full results and finishing positions can also be viewed on the website but I have listed the top players in each division together with their winnings.

It's disappointing that not every card was entered on the Computer - which is essentially the whole reason we hold a Qualifier. I found at least 2, Messrs Arnold & Gardener. Derek must be lucky to be credited with his "2" !!!
What you do with your card affects everyone else in the Competition.
I'm amazed Derek survived the DQ Pen , but knowing the Adjudication Team, reasons must have been given for these cards not being entered.

Also a couple of no-shows early on meant a slot was wasted and poor old Terry Rutherford, just back from USA had to drive home . All it takes is a call to  30231 and your slot could be used..they were queing up in the Pro Shop.

10th Tee was so far back, no player made a Par today.
