Our latest event was won by 6 clear shots by Chris Shaw. This victory has came as no surprise in fact its long overdue. His round of 45 still had two blobs amongst it but had a birdie two on the difficult par 3 14th, where he had two shots for a 5 point haul. He is now leading division 3 by a massive 21 points, but will really have to dig deep now having been cut by six shots and is now off 26. Back in second place was mister consistency Paul H, who's round of 39 contained no blobs saw him move within 4 shots of Dale G in division 2 OOM. Dale the other mister consistent weighted in with another par round of 36 to maintain his lead at the top of division 2. A blow up from the 10th to the 14th stopped a below average score from being posted. Back in third place was Andy W (Woody) who's best score for sometime was very welcome and secures him third place in the league. It could have been so much better with two blobs and some wayward putts but 37 was a good return his best of the season so far. Anthony H bagged a good round with a par 36 which only saw one blob on the par 5 8th. Jim C (pictured below) weighed in with a round of 35, which included 3 blobs a good return after only playing 9 holes in the last month due to training for a successful run in the London Marathon last week. Steve W also shot a 35 to push him towards the top of division 1 only the one blob from Steve on the par 4 15th.

Some other good scores of note where season debutant Andy Leitch who shot 34 his best ever and Andy Gordon also 34 who continues to improve after a bad injury. Back to some form was Wiggy who's round of 34 could have been so much better if had brought along his putting head. Some poor putting saw him squander at least 4/5 shots which on another day would have easily dropped. Gez Newsome's round of 33 moved him to top spot in division 1 by a single point from Greg W who notched an average 31 points made good from the only birdie of the day on the short but tricky 18th.

A few golfers had rounds they will wish to forget. After winning the last event Mark B driving was all over the place. After 4 holes he had zero points and even at the turn only had 9. The back nine only saw 2 blobs but still only yielded 12 points for a total 21. Another previous event winner this year Tommo could only muster 27 points. Looking relaxed above did not carry through to the golf unfortunately. another division one golfer Rick B also had a poor return for the day with two blobs and far to many one points for his total of 25.
