After the anti-climax last game of the 1st quarter's league table, when the positions could not be affected by the results, April got off to a good start with four matches - and some new names at the top.
Full details of the first quarter league is available to all on request (and will be circulated to Matchplay men shortly). 1st place went to the "man with the pen" (Dave Tweed), 2nd to Peter Chapman and 3rd to Chris Nickels - who won €50, €30 & €20 respectively. Main interest to the others is that there is €46 left over from the first quarter entry fees that will go towards our Christmas Party fund!
On Thursday 3rd April numbers were slightly down with just 14 players, as 4 of the regulars were playing a Club Knockout game. This quarter will be affected by several MMM regulars being selected for Interleague Matches (hopefully!), so only the best 5 scores from the 13 weeks will count towards the final league table instead of 7 between January and March, which should give all members the opportunity of winning the 2nd quarter spoils. For yesterday's results, read more -
First two games were the "split 6", other two were MMMsomes (matchplay pairs betterball with preferred drive):-
Paul Spallin - Larry Pratt - Martin Brand. Paul won the game and back 9, Larry won the front 9 and was 2nd
Euan Pyper - Dave Tweed - Stuart Deans. Euan won the game and back 9 (with a ridiculously lucky put on 18th!), Dave won the front 9 and was beaten to 2nd by 1 point!!
Don Forrester & Chris Nickels beat Charles Bradshaw & Russell Lloyd by 2&1
Peter Chapman and his guest Alan beat Peter Vaughan & his guest John by 2 & 1
No real point in publishing a league table after one game, but clearly the following members have 2 points:-
Paul, Euan, Don, Chris, Peter (Dave & Larry have 1 point)
