Final Round of Mark Edwards Thursday Championship. 13/10/2016

Finally, the weather cleared and allowed the running of the final round of the Mark Edwards Thursday Championship.  A final field of 53 players were chasing equal score leaders, Craig Hams  and Paul Luck both on a two round total of 71 points with Craig sitting on the best second round of 37, making him the outright leader.

Another 42 players had an opportunity to snatch victory having a single round of 33 stableford points or better.

Outright leader Craig Hams rested on his laurels today (someone has to work) and could not play.  Paul Luck tried to better his first two round scores but came in a little short.  Best round of the day was 37 points by Steve Fisher but alas this was only backed up by a 27.  Then out of the blue, the last card processed, came a 33 by John McLennan

33 seemed an average score for the day, in fact it got John a down the line ball in the daily competition, but when you add it to his exceptional first round score of 39 points, it made a best two round score of 72, and John took out the title of Thursday Champion for 2016 by one stroke from Craig Hams and Paul Luck.

Well done to John, and the rest of the field, after a couple of cancelled starts due to rain.

BJS INSURANCE TOP GUN UPDATE 9/10/2016

Well the BJS Insurance Top Gun qualifying season is quickly coming to an end with only 25 days until the final cut off on Thursday 10th November.

It’s pleasing to see how players coming back from holidays are still signing up, realising they have many opportunities left to have a round and to crack the Top 19.

The cut off to the Top 19 is now par for the Course, with Alan Edney our 19th ranked Top Gun player.  Alan has a back 9 of 19 stableford points, so you will need to better that to take his place.

A full run down of how you are going will be posted at the Club.  For now, the Top Gun 19 top qualifiers are:

1 Waters Peter 40
2 Hughes Norm 39
3 McLennan John 39

BJS INSURANCE TOP GUN UPDATE 24/9/2016

As the fairways begin to dry out, the run is coming back to the Course.  Many very good under par scores are being recorded at the moment and with that, the Top Gun Top 19 field is in continuous motion as  players drop out and others climb the ranking.

It’s good to see the recent excellent results obtained by Marea Maher and Karen Bear to climb back into the Top 19, joining  Coral Gray.

The minimum qualifying score for the Top Gun final at the moment has risen to 35 points with a back nine score of 21.

As always, some of the better scores recorded don’t belong to registered Top Gun players.  So if you are one of those playing well at the moment, remember it’s never too late to join up.  Do so before you hit the next great qualifying score.
