Firstly, people have lost no time at all in playing their first round Hall Trophy matches. The results so far are:
Alex Hall beat Chris Manners on the 19th, Chris made a great comeback from being 2 down making birdies on the 15th and 18th but the extra shot in Alex's favour proved decisive on the 1st.
Andy Wyatt beat Mike Crofts 6 and 5. Apparently this was a lot tighter than the score suggests with both players playing well. Nice birdie from Andy on the 2nd.
Reigning champ David Reynolds beat Glen Rootman 3 and 2.
Geoff Tithecott beat former finalist Dom Johnson, also 3 and 2.
Stuart Insall beat Tony Coomber 2 and 1. Tough draw for Tony against the ever steady Stuart.
Winner: Sami Chelache, 43 points, £22. A remarkable turnaround from Sami who had been struggling this year at the bottom of the averages. Hall of Fame round.
Second: Stuart Insall, 41 points, £13
Third: Eugene, 38 points, £7
Front 9: Iain Pritchard, 19 points, £5
Back 9: Chris Manners, 22 points, £5
Next week 15th May is a CARDS IN week.
