THE winter league and stableford competition played last Saturday was postponed because of the expected gale force winds and heavy rain which had been forecasted; round eight of the winter league will be now be played this Saturday, with the final round to be played the following day on Sunday 9; the matchplay knock out stages which will commence on Saturday 22.

The February monthly medal will be sponsored by Alex Youds and played on Saturday 15; this medal competition will be a qualifier for points for the Brian Bebb Shield.

Ladies

DESPITE the inclement weather five brave ladies played in the stableford competition last Tuesday, playing the full 18 holes. The five endured the very heavy showers in the morning at the start of their rounds with some sunny spells; they reached the safety of the clubhouse before the heavy afternoon showers, the weather conditions certainly reflected on the scores returned.

Results

1, Barbara Phillips 28 points

2, Margaret Hicks 27 points

There were no twos scored on the day which means a rollover for the twos kitty for next competition.

Seniors

LAST Thursday the senior section played a stableford competition where 21 players took part; on a cold; dry day with the course showing some sign of drying up waiting for the next down pour; once again the greens were in excellent condition for the time of year.

The competition winner was Tony Davey 44 points; winning the competition by a clear six shots from Dick Wooding who is also showing good form at the start of the year. Tony will now be playing off a handicap of 18 having lost two clear shots with Dick down by one shot to 16.

Tony has been in fine form in January winning two competitions (both with 44 points) and a second place with 36 points.
