A total of 97 members played in the non-qualifying medal on Saturday, with the highlight being another great performance from Peter Robson.
Peter, who has seen his handicap drop from 16 to 9 in the last two years, shot a fantastic 65 to win the 1st Division. The Norton brothers, Rich and David, finished second and third respectively, with Rich also posting the lowest gross of the day with a 66.
In the 2nd Division Paul Atkinson was disappointed to bogey the last three holes, although he still managed second place, while in the 3rd Division it was good to see new member Richard Plews shoot the lowest net score of the day with a 64.

Captain’s Am-Am Season Starter 22/03/2015
A total of 16 teams played in Captain Nick May’s Season Opener Am-Am on Sunday. The winning team of Chris, Gary, Steve and Gary scored a fantastic 93 pts, or 17 under par, a feat that was made even more impressive by the fact that none of them have a handicap higher than 13.
John Sewell and Colin Locker, who finished in third place, continue to have success in team competitions, and they could well be the ones to watch in 2015’s Order of Merit.
1st Chris Mason, Gary Hodgson, Steve Gibson and Gary May 93pts
2nd Chris Elvidge, Pete Stephenson, Chris Berry and Craig Lamplugh 91pts
3rd John Robinson, Jeff Lambert, John Sewell and Colin Locker 90pts
Ladies Reverse Waltz 24/03/2015
Lynn Bray carded a birdie on the 11th hole and pars on 2, 4, 8 and 16 to help her team to victory In Tuesday’s Waltz. It was really no surprise to see Lynn in the winning team as she has consistently been in or around the prizes in many recent competitions.
Also in good form at the moment is Linda Robinson, who partnered Sue Bell and Mary Rutherford to take second place by two strokes from Angela Rusted, Sue Burdass and Sally Norman. A total of eight teams took part.
1st Lynn Bray, Liz Barnett and Anne Francis 134
2nd Sue Bell, Linda Robinson and Mary Rutherford 138
