Alomst 100 hardy players braved a blast of wintery weather to compete in the Rutland County Golf Club’s Am-Am competitions.

A vicious wind tested the member’s endurance to the full during the October medal with only Braceborough’s Phil Drury breaking par on the day with a score of 82-13-69 in Division 2, which also secured him the lowest gross.
Bob Haynes nurdled his way to a net 74 and second place followed by new member Ray Caley on net 77. Paul Milsom shot 84-11-73 to win Division 1 followed By Kev Moxham 84-10-75 and Roger Overton 84-9-75 on countback.
John Peyser claimed the Scratch Knockout title by defeating Darren Child, who faded on the home stretch, to a 3 and 2 defeat.
There was a good turnout of 55 seniors, despite dampness underfoot and low cloud covering most of the course, for week 1 of the Winter Eclectic, which ran alongside a Stableford to enhance the day.
Results: Division 1 - 1st, Kevin Whittle, 39 pts; 2nd, John Phipps, 36pts. Division 2 - 1st, Phil Davis, 38 pts; 2nd Peter Aitkens with 37 pts (after countback).
