Nizels was in very good condition with the greens a little quicker than most players had seen this year but were firm and true.  We had a good turnout of 20 members with the pace of play being very good, despite the hon sec getting miffed about it during the round !!  

Anniversary Trophy

The average stableford score for the day was just 28.55 with the defending champion Graham Smith making a valiant attempt to retain the trophy.  This event was played off full society handicaps with all players “putting out” this being a silverware event and just to keep Captain Leftley happy to be honest.  The result was as follows: –

Place	Player	Score
Winner	Joe Carroll	38
Second	Kelvin Paterson	36
Third	Mark Hughes & Graham Smith	35

Team Competition 

The best two scores from three counted with the usual “battleship” adjustment for the teams of four. See below for the result:- 

Place	Player	Score
Winners	John Miller, Micky Mann & Kevan Gill.	79
Second	Rob Montagu, Graham Smith, Andrew Burnett & James Gallifant.	77
Third	Peter Cudmore, David Howroyd, Stuart Bourne & Joe Carroll	75

Nearest the Pin (16th Hole 140 yards).   

A cracking shot from Andrew Jenner which with him  being in the first group gave everyone a chance to admire it.  Unfortunately, a solid par rather than a birdie was made.

Nearest the Pin in Two (12th Hole 308 yards).   

A rather tough hole in the conditions with the green all the way up a steep hill.  Mark Hughes hitting two good ones making him closest to the pin on a green where just a few made it to the dance the floor in two.

Birdies

Just three birdies were achieved on the day as follows:

Player	Hole	Score	Yards & Stroke index
James Gallifant	3rd	3 on the par 4	355 yds SI 4
Micky Mann	7th	3 on the par 4	326 yds SI 8
Tony Willmott	11th	2 on the par 3	147 yds SI 15

The societies next event is scheduled for FRIDAY 14th June at the Nevill which is for the Society Stroke play and Stableford Shields. This will be a popular event so do get the date in your diary and let’s hope for some more great weather.

Good luck and fingers crossed for good weather for those travelling on the MGS tour to Montreuil (4th to 6th June) – happy golfing.
