2017 OWEN McMICKING PLATE -UPDATE

The Owen McMicking Plate bubbles along each year underpinned by the Men’s Monthly Medal Nett stroke results, during the period of March to October.

Of those eight (8) stroke rounds, your lowest five (5) scores automatically count towards the final of the Plate,  the winner having the lowest aggregate nett stroke score over five (5)  best rounds.

The next Monthly Medal to be held on October 14th, will decide the winner of the Owen McMicking Plate for 2017.

If you have already played in 5 Monthly Medals since March 2017, this will be your last chance to improve on your highest nett score. That is to say you will need to score a lower nett score than your current highest score that counts towards your total.

If you have only played in 4 Monthly Medals this will also be you last chance to seal the deal with a blistering round.

Currently Russell Williams is setting the pace with an aggregate score of 366, however, with the best nett round being a 64 since March, anyone could front up and steal the plate.

You can see from the sample of scores below, that it could be anyone’s title if they play to their best…. well almost anyone’s.

See you at the Club house and good golfing.

Tuesday 12 September 2017 -4BBB Aggregate

Tuesday’s 4BBB saw a small field of 34 players start the round in reasonable conditions with the threat of rain.  Rain was expected and arrived early in the round although light, it was constant as there was no wind about.  By the start of the 2nd nine, the rain was more consistent and greens became water logged, and a large percentage of the field withdrew due to the conditions. However some groups continued on and finished their rounds, finding most greens playable although wet.

Best score of the day went to Wendy Anne Parker and Andy Bassett with a combined score of 58 points (although Wendy Anne had 33 of those points.) For full results click here:

Stableford- Thursday 31 August 2017

What a great change to see the sun shining all day. With a drying course and near perfect conditions for golf, we all expected to play like champs and it was Wendy- Anne Parker who showed the men a thing or two and took out Best Score of the Day with 37 points. For full results click here:

BJS Insurance Top Gun Update -26 August 2017

As we near the beginning of Spring, the scores are rising and the Women are starting to bloom in the BJS Insurance Top Gun event.  Lianne Adamson is showing a lot of the Men what a good qualifying score looks like.

Still earlier in the qualifying period however, I urge all members to consider entering this Competition sooner rather than later, as a number of fabulous scores have gone to waste as the players had not signed up for the Top Gun before having that sweet round.

Current Top 19 qualifiers as of the 26th August 2017 are:

1 Leaver Chris 39
2 Baker Ian 38
3 Adamson Lianne 37
4 Cathie Bruce 37
5 Smith Andrew 37
6 Smith Jon 37
7 Roberts Antony 36
8 Wallace Denis 36
9 Castwood Kevin 35
10 Murchie Ian 35
11 Bear Colin 34
12 Clemann Doug 33
13 Gill Frank 33
14 Maher Marea 33
15 McLennan John 33
16 Bassett Andy 32
17 Bowey Matt 31
18 Mackenzie Rod 31
19 Schache Alan 31

Tuesday Stableford- 8 August 2017

On a very cool damp day when carts were not allowed on the Course,  Chris Leaver played a great game to come home with Best Score of the Day with 39 points.  That may very well cement Chris a place in the BJS Insurance Top Gun Final in November.

SuperLeague Semi Final Results.

What a thrilling end to the week of SuperLeague. Jim Arnott had anchored his Team, Pars, with a fine 35 points and solid rounds in the conditions by Neil (Macca) Mackenzie  &  Peter Hobson each with 31, looked to have the Pars set for a win, with 97 points.

Clearly however, the Player of the Week was Peter Walsh with a very good 37 points, and together with Brian Fennessy’s last gasp 29 points on Thursday helped their Team, Fairways to level with Pars, on 97 points.

The SuperLeaque rules call for countback of the best three cards in these semi final circumstances, and in this case, Fairways get the nod 49 to 46 on the total of the back nine count back scores.

In the other Semi Final, Bunkers (104) look to have a very solid team with Jon Smith (36), Hans Hoefler (34) and that deciduous Kev Castwood pruning back another 34, taking the win over OOB’s (102) led by Antony Roberts strong 36, supported by Doug Clemann (33) and Frank Gill’s last effort on Saturday with 33 (bad luck about the 7 on the 9th, partner).
