Seniors Club Championship (Scratch Cup & Handicap Plate)

A very interesting day as far as the weather was concerned. It was far too difficult to read which direction wind was blowing. One moment it was blowing left to right, then straight into your face before changing direction again behind you. Scores suggest that it wasn’t easy for anyone as no one managed a par round. Therefore there were no handicap changes were applied.  You could say it was a none-qualifying qualifier lol

 43% of Holes were completed in Double-Bogey or worse.

Exactly Half the Field took over 100 shots to get round.

Both the Immediate Past captain and the Current Captain used the whole of their Handicap Allowance on the front 9 Holes, as peter started 10,5, 9, 7...

Barrie was one of only 3 Players to Par the 15th, with a 9 being the highest...

...but the 10th Hole was unbeaten All Day with not a single Par Score and several into double figures.

It was pretty clear from the start and going by the previous results that only a handful of guys were in contention for the Scratch Cup and this year was no exception. Danny beating Dave Mugridge on Back 9 count (78 strokes) with Martyn Hartley a further two strokes behind them. Well done Danny for becoming the seniors champion 2020.

 

The Handicap Plate was won by David Taylor with an impressive 71 net score considering that he had a 9 on the 3rd,  followed by Mark Cording (72) and John Evans with a further shot behind him. Well done you three. 

Dave was the only Player to receive a Handicap adjustment, reduced by 0.9 on the day.

A total of 9 birdies were achieved earning £2.50 per birdie. Details  listed below:
