Mark Hughes with 41 stableford points playing off a handicap of just 14 wins the October 2016 competition at the Dyke golf course

Our lowest turnout for over two years enjoyed a very pleasant day of golf at the Dyke golf course on the South Coast. The course was in very good condition with the greens both fast and true. Ten players battled it out for the prizes with the results as follows:-

Individual Stableford

Place	Individual	Score
Winner	Mark Hughes	41
Second	Dereck Coppard	38
Third	Alan Bond	36

 

Winner Longest Drive (Hole 16^th):  Micky Mann

Winner Nearest the Pin (Hole 8^th):  Mark Hughes

Team Stableford Competition

 

With the winner and runner up in the individual competition playing in the same team the team result was inevitable and was won by some margin:-

 

Place	Team Members	Score
Winners	Mark Hughes, Dereck Coppard & Brian Day	86
Second	Alan Bond, Micky Mann & David Howroyd	76
Third	Frank Goulding, Kelvin Paterson, Clive Butler 7 Steve Westwood (guest)	74

 

The low attendance was probably down to a number of players having just been Bished and Tipstered on the Autumn Tour with a number of other regulars on holiday in various parts of the country and indeed abroad.  Hopefully we will return to a good number with the GBH pair’s trophy which will be up for grabs at Lamberhurst Golf Club on the 18^th November.  A number of our MGS society members are also members at Lamberhurst and say the course is in fabulous condition.  More details will follow nearer the time as always.
