Turkey Trot Results
Really poor conditions limited the field size to 59 and also caused some players to fail to complete their rounds resulting in some low scores. Some of you may have been expecting to get 0.1 back but of course WHS doesn't work like that!!
The succulent Turkeys & Hams were won by
- D1 Turkey Winner : Tom Greenfield 36 points playing off 10
- D1 Ham Winner : Antony Dawson 35 points playing off 9
- D2 Turkey Winner : Peter Smith 36 points playing off 14
- D2 Ham Winner : Jake Gibbons 34 points playing off 24
The 2s club was shared by 5 players, each winning £11.80.
If the Winter League has to be cancelled this Friday/Saturday/Sunday due to ongoing Tier differentials an Individual Stableford (NQC) will be run over Saturday & Sunday. The website diary will be updated as soon as information is announced (expected Wednesday).

3 Club Competition Results
Finally managed to get another competition played, although as this was a 3 club competition it couldn't be used as a qualifier for handicapping purposes. There were 36 entries, quite a few NR's from that field so possibly the weather was rather worse at the club than where I live?
Winning scores :-
- Overall winner : Phil White 35 points playing off 15
- Best gross : Jeff Purdy 26 points
- Division #1 (16 players)
- 1st place nett : Bert Tregidgo 31 points (back 9 c/b) playing off 12
- 2nd place nett : Jeff Purdy 31 points playing off 5
- 3rd place nett : Roger Rawson 30 points (back 9 c/b) playing off 6
- Division #2 (16 players)
- 1st place nett : Phil White 35 points playing off 15
- 2nd place nett : Mike Catlin 34 points playing off 13
- 3rd place nett : Andrew Green 33 points playing off 13
The 2s club was lucrative with only 2 winners sharing the £36 pot.
Tomorrow we have the annual Turkey Trot, this will be played as a qualifier for handicapping purposes, 1st prize in each division is a fresh turkey, 2nd prize in each division a fresh ham, all prizes will be brought up to the club a few days before XMAS.
Next weekend, we may be able to start the Gents Winter League but this is fully dependent on tier restrictions being removed for all members by Saturday 19th at latest. Final decision to be made after HMG announcements on Wednesday, if no Winter League is possible I'll run an alternate competition on at least one of the days.
