Individual Stableford January 29th 2015
Today's event was originally due to be Greensomes but due to the small number of Seniors turning up it was decided to change to individual stableford. What a morning it was with ALL the four seasons being experienced! Despite the cold, wet, snow and sunshine some excellent scores were obtained.
Results as follows:-
1. Noel Jones 39pts. Great score despite having 2 blobs....one on the 4th and another on the 10th
2. Paul White 38pts
3. Reg Taylor 36pts on countback
4. Graham Stokes 36pts

Melody competition January 27th 2015
This unusual format was teams of 4 playing off full handicaps. Score must be decided at end of each hole and recorded as such. Each player to be on the card 4 times. Finally all scores are added up and the 10% of combined handicaps subtracted...hope that makes sense!!
Results as follows
1. Peter Lynch, Peter Fraser, Steve Monk and Dave Roberts 65.5
2. Richard Key, Tony Owens, Andrew Mitchell and Malcolm Williams 65.9
3. Alwyn Williams, Steve Beech, Reg Peacock and Brian Downes 66.7

January 22nd 9x2 9x3 stableford
With the weather somewhat warmer than 2 days ago the competitors enjoyed a warmish, sunny morning. The results as follows:-
1. Andrew Mitchell, Tony Owens, Bob Brown and Ralph Hardy 106 pts
2, Reg Peacock, Neil Sanger, Peter Lynch and Dilly Jones 103 pts on count back
3. Bob Jarvis, Bill Kelleher, Paul White and Derek Lyon 103pts. Derek's team members wish it to be recorded that Derek MISSED a 2 inch putt on the 16th!! Enough said!!

Seniors Winter League January 20th 2015
With the temperature at minus 2C and very icy conditions only the stalwart members ventured forth to play. The weather did improve about halfway through the morning with the sun coming out to make the day more enjoyable. Putts were difficult to read and balls often bounced through the greens which all went to make the day all that more enjoyable! Despite the conditions some very good scores were carded as results below show:-
1. Barry Dare 38pts on countback
2. Barry Evans 38pts
3. Nigel Davies 37pts
4. Maelor Davies 36pts on count back
5. Frank Rodenhurst 36 pts
6. Andrew Mitchell 35pts on countback
7. Malcolm Williams 35pts on countback
8. Paul White 35pts
9. Stewart Poole 35pts
10. Noel Jones 35pts
