The best ''All Seasons" Stableford Average award went to Malcolm Proudley with an average of 30.59 points. Second was Keith ''The Boss'' with 30:02 (a fine effort off a low handicap); third was Chris Butler with 29.74. They are seen here celebrating in the bar in an uncharacteristically unguarded moment. You can check how you did in 2016 HERE
Mention must also be made of Eugene Hickey, Corin Superfine, Pete Ibbetson, Darren Wheston, and Martin Wood, who all had superior averages but did not play enough rounds spread across the year (min of 4 rounds in each quarter).
The website has now been refreshed for 2017 and in particular the new handicap management rules are incorporated. Worth a review as they are very different this year. In addition, Alex Hall has initiated a new singles knockout competition - The Hall Trophy - you can see the Rules, Draw etc. once it has been made, on the left side of the website.
