Just nine players braved the elements for week 2 of the Tuesday Evening League this evening ... and the elements were quite testing!! A strong wind and occasional horizontal rain made scoring very tricky.

TEL - Week1

The first games of the Tuesday Evening League were played this evening. An individual 9-hole Stableford competition with a prize for the best score each week and prizes for the best 7 cumulative scores at the end of the 14-week competition.

Seniors May Medal

A very sparse field for the Seniors Medal today. With many of the regular seniors away in sunny Portugal (lucky devils!) and quite a few others opting not to play today, just 9 hardy men braved the ferocious winds and squally showers to play. Well done to those who completed their rounds in very trying conditions which was played as Stableford.
The clear winner was Richard Aldred with a very good score of 32pts. Runner-up was Chris Moore (27pts) followed by Mike Miller just one point further back.

No two's were recorded today, so all proceeds will roll over to next month's medal.

May Medal

With a few people away or preparing to go away to sunnier climes, just a small field of 13 players for this month's medal. A bit chilly with a stiff easterly breeze blowing made scoring a bit tricky.
The winner today with a nett 70 was Rowland Barnfield. Runner-up just one shot further back was Paul Tebbutt (lowest gross) followed by Geoff Denner (nett 72) in third place.

Just one 2 recorded today by Dianne McIntyre at the 8th hole. Dianne scooped to two's pool!
