SENIORS MEDAL OCTOBER 5TH 2023. REPORT VIA MIKE HEALEY

Mike Healey had an awayday at Caldy today and it would appear that he had the better deal weatherwise. Looking through the division lists for the medal - all numbers were down. I know that quite a few seniors have gone off on holiday this week and there are a few absences for other reasons. I also suspect that the forecast might have made decisions for one or two. Speaking to my ground reporter, those that did play, experienced a rather damp morning to say the least. The rain was more persistent than intermittent but in general, arriving in heavy bursts. That is never a pleasant situation to play in, combined with autumn leaves and heavy ground. I believe the first hole was also shortened because of conditions and with one or two exceptions, the scores reflected the state of play in general. There were two x 2's scored during the competition - Richard Collier on the shortened 1st hole and Reg Peacock on the 5th hole. Well done to them. All the results are on ig but here are the three winners from each division: October Medal: Division 1: First: Richard Collier - 39 points Second: Bill Kelleher - 38 points Third: Keith Hawthorn - 37 points (Andy Mitchell carded 37 points but was beaten on countback) Division 2: First: Reg Peacock - 36 points Second: Graham Bryne - 29 points (c/b) Third: Mike Hollings - 29 points (c/b) Division 3: First: Bob Jarvis - 33 points Second: Billy Spilsted - 31 points (c/b) Third: Peter Martin Jones - 31 points (c/b)
