There was a break last week on the European Tour, although many of them headed over to Bay Hill for the Arnold Palmer Invitational. There were yet again some strong showings from the British Players with Hatton, Fleetwood, Rose, & Fitzpatrick all finishing in the top 20. It was however Australian Marc Leishman who lifted the trophy with an 11 under par total. Next stop is the WGC Matchplay in Austin, Texas.


 

The ladies had a great turn out for their Midweek Stableford on Thursday. With a score of 31, Thea Cornford did it again, resulting in a well-deserved handicap chop. Runner-up with 29 was Wendy Smith, third was Helen Billington with 28. 

The seniors played another round of their Winter Stableford series. There were again some excellent scores but Brian Edwards was the runaway winner with a blistering 43. Runner-up after a number of 40s was Callum Dalton, pushing Phil Harkness into third.

There was a gent's Winter Stableford on Saturday. Having played well in the week, Martin Higby went into this event full of confidence and it showed as he recorded a whopping 44 points, runner-up was Craig Allen with 42, third on the same score was Mike Delf. Division 2 was a little tighter, Mark Gibson winning it with 39, one clear of Richard Larkins in second, third on 36 was Chris Starkie

The ladies had a Lady Captain's Coffee Morning followed by a top course stableford on Tuesday. Taking a break from her duties as chair of greens was Sue Totty who did so in style by winning Division 1 with 26 points, runner up with 25 was Christina Hornsby, third with 21 was Clare Palmer. The best score of the day, and the deserving winner of division 2, with 29 points was Marilyn Jones, runner-up with 25 was Jackie Walker, third with 23 was Chris Hancock. There was a playoff for first and second in division three with 23 points, Sandra Cohen edged out Ala Lloyd, and third with 22 was Ann Scriven.  Division 4 saw three tied at the top on 22, the card playoff decision favouring Sue Jones ahead of Margaret Nicholas and Thea Cornford.

Congratulations to Dave Cederholm & Shay Keogh who beat Arrowe Park 5&4 in the first round of the Daily Mail Foursomes on Sunday.
