Kitty competition "Muliplier" March 30th 2017
The 2s is a ROLLOVER,
38 out of 39 participated in the
2s competition with no one achieving a Two, so £7.60 goes on our next Kitty
Comp.
If two's is applicable to that
kitty competition then it should be Tuesday 11th April
Format for todays competition as follows:-
Format for todays competition as follows:-
3 ball teams can compete against each other as well as 4 ball teams. Irrespective of numbers in a team, the top 2 stableford scores at each hole are multiplied together to produce the team score for the hole.
Results kindly provided by Steve Monk
Today's competition was a 'Multiplier', for which 39 players turned out.
Following a 'hiccup' with the tally draw, which left a single 3-ball team to play alongside 9 x 4-ball teams, thanks are due from the organiser to Diane Dare, Mike Hollings and Peter Almond for agreeing to play under such a handicap. Although not amongst the prizewinners, they very creditably were placed joint 4th in the competition.
Winners were:
1st - Don Wraight, Ralph Hardy, Barry Evans and Steve Monk, with 94 points.
2nd - Malcolm Williams, Andrew Mitchell, Mike Drake and Bob Brown, with 84 points.
3rd - Noel Jones, Colin Evans, Colin Brown and Dave Palferman, with 83 points.

Bonus Ball competition March 28th 2017
What a dull and cold day it was today. However it was brightened up by the sight of Derek in his Ricky Fowler hat!
Explanation of scoring for Bonus Ball (previously called Yellowish Ball).
This is played as a stableford competition, ideally in 4-ball teams.
At every hole all four stableford scores count towards the team total, and a 'bonus' score is added. The bonus score is derived as follows.
At all holes on the front 9 of the course (holes 1 to 9 inclusive), the lowest stableford points score from the 4 team members is added as the bonus score.
At all holes on the back 9 of the course (holes 10 to 18 inclusive) the highest stableford points score from the 4 team members is added as the bonus score.
Some examples:-
On Hole 1, say, the 4 players record scores of 6/2, 4/3, 6/1, 5/2. The bonus score is the lowest of these, i.e. 1. So the team total for the hole is 9.
On Hole 7, say, the 4 players record scores of 5/2, 6/2, 5/3, 7/0. The bonus score is the lowest of these, i.e. 0. So the team total for the hole is 7.
On hole 10, the 4 scores are 4/4, 6/2, 5/2, 6/1. The bonus score is the highest of these, i.e. 4. So the team total for the hole is 13.
On hole 17, the 4 scores are 3/3, 4/2, 6/0, 5/1. The bonus score is the highest of these, i.e. 3. So the team total for the hole is 9.
Before Nigel announced the results he announced winners of 2017 Winter League,....see photos below kindly sent by Don
1st Don Wraight, Harold Hughes, Chris Jacques & Brian Downes 155 pts
2nd Alwyn Williams, Bill Parrish, Maelor Davies & Roy Jordan 151 pts
3rd Colin Evans, Peter Bowen, Ian Ketland & Bill Kelleher 146 pts
Out of 48 playing in the Bonus Ball 45 entered the two's, though the greens had been top dressed three, players achieved a two :-

Seniors Winter League Round 6 March 21st 2017
Cliff Evans sent the following report.........Out of a field of 43
today, 38 entered in the two's competition with only one achieving a two, on
the 5th hole Mr.Frank Rodenhurst
Thanks to Steve Monk for the following report.....
The final round of the Seniors Winter League was held today in sunny but windy and quite cold conditions. The game was disrupted by the seasonal necessity of hollow-tining of the greens, but green-keeping staff did their best to keep as many greens playable as they could. The 2nd hole was closed throughout, but the 17th and 18th holes were open for early players (starting from the 14th or 16th tees) but not for later players (starting from the 1st tee). Additionally, the 16th hole was initially fully available but later on, only in a shortened version with a temporary green.
Committee members present collectively decided that it would be unfair to award kitty competition prizes on the day, because different groups of players played a different set of holes or different hole lengths. All members present agreed to donate the collected kitty to Section Funds. However, by taking scores from Holes 1 to 16 only (excluding the closed Hole 2) and taking into account the fact that the only 4 players present who had enough league points to still win the overall title all played together, and thus all played an identical course, it was concluded that it was appropriate and fair to allow the results achieved to stand for the purpose of allocating league points only.
43 players competed. Results were:
1st - 10 points - Frank Rodenhurst with a score of 30.
2nd - 9 points - Nick Lee with 29.
3rd - 8 points - Harold Hughes with 27.
4th - 7 points - John Davis with 26.
5th - 6 points - Stewart Poole with 25.
6th - 5 points - Dave Palferman with 25.
7th - 4 points - Steve Monk with 25.
8th - 3 points - Malcolm Williams with 25.
9th - 2 points - Brian Downes with 24.
10th - 1 point - Richard Key with 23.
