Results – Piltdown GC -16 October 2015
For the third time this year Kevin Weaver wins!
After edging out Carl Valentine on count back at Westerham and Micky Mann on count back at Chartham Park earlier in the year Kevin Weaver wins at Piltdown by 3 shots.
16 players attended the outing at Piltdown on a very tough golf course. Dereck Coppard made a very welcome return to the fold and played well walking away with a couple of prizes which was great to see.
For a course with no bunkers it was surprising how much sand was on the course following the hollow tining and dressing of the greens for winter. This no doubt contributed to the low average stapleford score for the day of 26.19 which is lowest for the year by a couple of points. The only birdie of the day was by Dereck Coppard on the 159 yard par 3 10th. However, the day was generally regarded as very good value for money with an excellent meal taken in the evening in the club house.
