STABLEFORD & CAPTAINS PRIZE - GAINSBOROUGH - 19th MAY

51 players in todays Monthly Stableford & Senior Captains Prize - played on the Gainsborough course in excellent condition - can anyone remember fairways being watered so early in the year. Stopping the ball was a bit of an issue, this seemed to reflect in the scoring which was far more modest that is usual.

Perhaps this was also the reason that not a single birdie was achieved on any of the par 3’s. Has this ever happened before?

Many congratulations to Martin Brown and Adrian Beckinsale, both winning their respective divisions with 38 points - Martin shading the Captains Prize on countback.
