20th November Monthly Medal

It’s tough to win at the Bay

There cannot be many golf clubs where a person can play within one shot of the Course Record and not win!

Derek Wright, playing off a 2 handicap, scored a best of the year gross score of 3 under par 66.

However his nett score of 64 was only good enough for 3^rd place, as Nick Riby won the event from Steven Cooke, both scoring nett 63.

LADIES SCRATCH MATCH v SHANKLIN & SANDOWN

The Ladies Section continued their impressive season with a convincing win over Shanklin.

SENIORS OCTOBER TROPHY

The winner was Ron Bradley with a score of 39 points.  Even though John Wisker was very confused as to what event he was playing in he still managed 2^nd place, matching Ron’s score but losing out on the back 9

TRAFALGAR SCRAMBLE

In breezy but pleasant conditions there was a good turnout for the above event. The winners were Richard Frost, Dave Morey and Jack Ince with 49 points. Matching their score was the team of John Veal, Bill Hinchen and Dave Wright. I am sure that those of you who have been disqualified by John in the past will be saddened to hear that when John came to do the results he could not find his team on the Start Sheet. Therefore 2^nd place went to Gary Holmes, James Ebdon and Russell Macgregor (47 points)

SAMANTHA AND JOANNE QUALIFY FOR ISLAND GAMES

In the 2 final Island Games Qualifiers held on the 30^th and 31^st October Samantha showed her best form of the year to qualify in 3^rd place, with Jo not far behind her. The conditions both days were testing with virtually constant rain on the Sunday. Well done to both of them.

BRAMSHAW MANOR JUNIOR MASTERS

Congratulations to Brandon Thompson and Steven Cooke in this year’s Bramshaw Masters. Brandon won the Scratch Event with an even par 71 and Steven won the Handicap with a nett 69. Brandon’s score was all the more impressive as he had never played the course before.

All told  8 of our juniors went over for the day and each one of them was a credit to Freshwater Bay.  John Jacobs, the ex Ryder Cup player was on hand at the end to present the awards and pass on a few words of wisdom to the winners.
