General Club Noticeboard

Ninety seven entries spread across the 3 pieces of silverware comprising the Hamilton (0-10), Middleman (11-15) & Bland (16-28) Cups, the course was in fantastic condition and with reasonably calm weather some great scores were recorded.

We don't award an overall winner in this competition, but Adam Footitt's gross 66 playing off a handicap of 1 to win the Hamilton Cup was the best score of the day and means that he is now a scratch player, well done Adam that's a great achievement. Tom Younghusband continues his excellent form with a nett 67 to win the Middleman Cup, meriting another General Play reduction, his 2nd in 2 weeks, whilst George McCartney won the Bland Cup with his fine nett 66.

Sixty eight pairs entered the SRGC Mixed Open Betterball Stableford played in near perfect conditions after the recent heavy rains & high winds.

Judging by the comments of many that played, the course was in tremendous condition with many describing the greens and fairways as "the best they've played on all year", massive thank you to Gareth and his dedicated staff for their efforts proving once again that SRGC is one of the premier courses in the East Midlands.

Similarly, our catering staff led by Cris & Lis had an extremely busy day with around 90 people enjoying the carvery or other options, and many others having smaller snack meals.

Worthy winners with a great score of 43 points were Marie & Greg Shelton, but they were pushed hard by SRGC pair Lara & Carl Manton with only a back 9 countback separating them.

Winning scores :-

• Bill Roope Cup  :  Marie & Greg Shelton (Greetham Valley GC & Luffenham Heath GC)  43 points (back 9 c/b)
• 2nd place nett  :  Lara & Carl Manton (both SRGC)  43 points
• 3rd place nett  :  Lynn & Greg Ewart (both SRGC)  41 points
