With the weather proving kinder than recently the members of Pannal Golf Club were able to enjoy a full programme of competition golf during week beginning March 3rd 2024
On Tuesday the 5th 33 ladies played in the Mad March Hare singles Stableford competition. Although It was reduced to 13 holes and two temporary greens due to the wet conditions, the day was pleasantly spring like, which encouraged ladies to enter the competition.
Division 1 found Carole Whiles in third place with 24 points, Janet Jones second with 25 points and the winner, with an impressive 27 points, was Hilary Ingram.
Division 2 was tightly contested, Helen Mountford was third with 23 points, Rebecca Booth second with 24 points and the winner was Sue White with 25 points.
Following the golf the ladies gathered for soup and sandwiches, following which there was a prize presentation. Lady Captain, Clare Davies, congratulated Hilary and Sue and presented them with their Mad March Hare Division 1 and 2 winners’ broches.
The Ladies Winter Trophy has come to its conclusion, the winner being the lady with the best 3 scores from a possible 6 rounds. Amanda Dunn was announced as the winner and presented with her trophy.
The afternoon was concluded with a presentation to the ladies regarding the forthcoming WHS changes, which will take effect from 1st April.
At the back end of last year, the annual Men’s Seniors Rosebowl was rained off but was rescheduled for Thursday the 7th. A field of 49 players teed off at 10.00 with a shotgun start in overcast and cool conditions.
Congratulations to Steve Dodds who won the title with a score of 29 points over 13 holes.
The four-man team prize was won by Anthony Robinson, John Gladstone, Steve Jenkins and Peter Chambers with a score of 62 points (two out of four to count) with Bill Mullins taking the prize for Nearest the Pin on the 3rd hole.
Saturday the 9th was the date of the Two Player Stableford Texas Scramble, with 16 holes open including an optional welcome stop at the Halfway House.
This is a format which tends to see the very best players at the top of the leaderboard and this was no exception. With Handicap Indices of +2.3 and 4.9, the format left playing partners Jason Taylor and David Thomas with a zero shot allowance but that did no deter them as they scattered the field with a points score of 41. Trailing in their wake in second place were Tim Considine and Nigel Brown with 39 and third went to Roger Emmett and John Jones with 38, after a card count.
