September Medal review

On Saturday, we played our last medal of the summer and again the course was set up in tip-top condition by Dave and Harlie. The greens were rather quick (the 2nd green caught a few people out!!) and extremely true which obviously contributed to some good scoring – in fact eight players scored nett 69 or better.

There was a remarkable round from young Ben Barrow, he scored a brilliant 3 over par gross to score a nett 62 and it included an impressive total of 14 pars which even a pro would be proud of. His round also contained one birdie on the 6th hole and he even finished with 2 bogies, his only 2 bogies of the round! Ben is now a single figure golfer playing off 8 and he has had a very productive season so far.

Phil Carr missed out on top spot with his nett 63 but he did have the major consolation that his round was good enough to see him claim the last spot for the Hartford Masters coming up on Saturday 15th September. Paul Underwood was third with his 65 and until Phil came in and pipped him, Paul would have been in the Masters. The start sheet for the Hartford Masters is posted below and the next competition is a Midweek Medal next Wednesday.

Hartford Junior Match

This Saturday we are proud to be hosting a Cheshire event for the first time as their under 14’s team play against a team of our Hartford juniors in a friendly match. The Hartford team will contain established players such as Kieran Underwood, Ben Barrow, Javier Lang, Joel Cann and some budding youngsters from our ever growing junior section taking on Cheshire’s best junior golfers, it should be good to watch, first tee-time is 11:32am.

Ladies round-up

It has been a great season for our ladies section and scores are getting better and better with plenty of handicaps falling. On Thursday the 18 hole Stableford was won by Wendy D’Arcy with 42 points, she flew out of the traps with 26 points on the first nine! Wendy has shown some hot form recently and this was her third victory of the season with her handicap falling steadily from 36 to 31. Margaret Cherry was runner up with 40 points and Bobbie Mulcahy had 38 points in third position.

What a round it was from Joyce Graham on Monday evening, she had a remarkable 2 two’s in a 23 point score for the 9 holes. Playing in the same group, Jo Cameron had 4 pars but couldn’t match Joyce’s birdies in her 22 point round that normally would have been enough to win and Chris Lever scored 20 points in third.

The next ladies competition is a 9 hole Stableford this Thursday morning.

Seniors section

It was an 18 hole Stableford last week for the seniors & the scoring was again impressive, amazingly 40 points was only good enough for tenth place!
On top of the pile was Rhett Butler with a whopping 45 point total. Rhett achieved his first victory of the season with a solid 22 on the front nine and 23 on the back nine.

Ken Powell played some great golf in his 43 point round and he enjoyed birdies on the first and thirteenth holes. Third place was taken by Richard Buchanan also on 43 points, there were also 6 two’s recorded.
