Please email me at ivanhoegc@gmail.com if you have the results for the following first round matches.

• Mal Whelan versus Ed Kloprogge
• John Quinlan v Tony Mifsud
• Laurie Mannix v Andrew Petricola

Thanks.

The top two players today were well clear of the field and had excellent scores considering it was drizzling most of the morning. Chris Priems secured his second win for the year with 44 points and now goes back to single figures. Mehmet Akdag came a very close second with 43 points. Both great rounds especially considering the nearest score was 4 stableford shots away.

I will be updating the Matchplay table this weekend and there may be some gaps so please check your matchplay results and let me know if there are any omissions or errors.

Note that the second round of the matchplay is now underway and all matches need to be played by 11th July.

He deserves a big head !!! .. on a true Autumn day with cold winds and gathering rain clouds Gordon Hill easily hung on to his first round lead and won the David Ford Autumn Cup with an aggregate score of +3, 3 PAR points ahead of the field. Jan Siemon put in the handicap perfect round of square and Craig Sharp and Harry Boughen were at one under.

Well done Gordo!!

A special mention now that our bbq connoisseur, Oliver, has introduced the new toasted bread with snags and tells me that he knows where the best sausages are…so maybe for the Winter Cup we might have another USA gourmet delight!…Thanks Oliver.
