Results for 1st Senior Winter Stableford on Thursday 2nd November 2023

Hi Seniors.

It wasn't expected that we would complete the round without the heavy rain. MIRACLE!!!

Feedback showed a bit of confusion regarding playing to Summer greens and not the Winter greens from Winter tees. Handicaps had been cut beforhand to 75% of Summer handicaps and yet we landed up playing to nearly a full distance course.

I looked at the ClubV1 computer and input different scenarios ie. normal 95% handicap index on full Yellow tee course against 75% Winter handicaps over the WinterLeague / Winter tee course (as was set up on the How Did i Do / PSI terminal for todays event)

The outcomes were similar with 5 of the six money winners coming out top in both scenarios. The sixth money winner has had a payment made so as not to discriminate due to the confusion that arose.

We welcomed 4 new Senior members today and the "old boys" will have to pick their socks up as three of the new members have played well enough to take some of the honours. Well done guys.

The results are - 

21 Seniors entered to play and 21 Seniors did.

There were NO 2's recorded so monies have been input to the Sweep.

Division One - 4 players

1st- with 24 points Alan McHattie winning £4.10

2nd - 23 pts Bih Donald Nairn £2.50


Division Two - 17 players

1st - 28 pts Chris Brand £9.50

2nd - 27 pts Richard Barker £7.00

3rd - 25 pts Bih Michael Duffy £4.50

4th - 25pts Stewart Baillie £2.50
