By a fairly convincing margin, winners: Paul 'Elementary' Watson, Rory Scales, Kim Nguyen, Colin Stickland, 92 points, £10.50 each
Best Stableford: Stuart Insall, 37 points, £5. What a good run he is on, averaging 35 points over the last 7 rounds.
Nearest Pin in 2 on 9th: Michael Van Wyck. A genuine new member, Michael is South African and plays off 2 ie another planet. Let's hope that is the last Springbok victory this week.

HALL TROPHY SINGLES KNOCKOUT RESULT
Congratulations to John 'Skipper' Harris who pipped Trevor Pyne on the 19th after Trevor was dormy 2. Again it was a display of great putting at the end, including from off the green at the 18th, which secured the trophy for John. Bad luck Trevor, ever so close. What a great addition this competition has been to the Swindle, so many close finishes !
Finally, a couple of pics from the last few weeks. The first shows an unusual vertical water hazard (known as a 'waterfall' to non golfers) in Canada. The second shows The Boss and dubious looking cronies in his back garden.
