Greg a clear winner in the low section

WEEK one of the Winter League was completed last Saturday.

With the standard preferred lies in force there was some prolific scoring over the week and it appears prizes will not be easily won. An indication of the good scoring was that at least close to 60 golfers managed 29 points or better for these fourteen holes.

In the low section, catering for golfers up to and including 12 handicappers, there were 20 players with scores under the par of 28 points.

Greg Crawford was the clear winner of the section with an outstanding return of 36 points. This six handicapper achieved a steady eighteen points over each section of seven holes. Over the round he scored birdies at holes one, three, six, fifteen and seventeen. His only bogeys came at the second and tenth holes. With pars on the rest of the holes it was not surprising that he accumulated this great tally of points.

Runner-up in the group was Martin Drain with an equally good score of 33 points. This five handicapper managed 16 and 17 points over each side of the course. He birdied the tenth and dropped his only shot of the day at the fourteenth. Pars on the other twelve holes were conclusive evidence of his solid round of golf.

Four handicap golfer Tom Douglas was third with a more than useful total of 32 points. Tom had concessions to par on holes one and twelve. However birdies at fifth, tenth and fifteenth holes took care of these minor lapses. Pars on the remaining holes helped him to register 15 and 17 points for the respective sides of the course.

Plus two handicapper David Sutton captured the weekly gross award with 31 gross points. On his way around David attained birdies on holes one, three, six, nine and seventeen. His only wayward hole was the eight where he incurred a double bogey. Pars were his lot on the rest of the holes. His breakdown of 16 and 15 gross points earned him the category award.
