Dick Secomb was brutal in his demolition of his opponents on Saturday. After setting up a winning break on the field with 26 stableford points on the front 9, Dick cruised home scoring an easy 21 points on the back for 47 points. Closest to Dick was Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel who only managed 39. Unfortunately for Dick the handicapper was just as brutal deducting 2 strokes from his handicap. This should not prove a problem, however, as Dick’c handicap has now fallen from 31 on November 25th to 25 clearly stamping Dick as the form player of the moment.

Pat Hallion continues to take all before him winning Saturday’s par competition with a score of +2. Pat’s Handicap has now dropped from 18 to 14 since December 29, but this seems to have no effect. The closest to Pat were a group of 5 players on -1, with Mark “Mouldy” Millward gaining 2nd on a count back. At the other end of the field a count back was required to determine the Mars Bar with Dick Cleland & Andy Spackman both on -3. Andy received the chocolate.

Results:

• +2 – Pat Hallion
• -1 – Mark “Mouldy” Millward (runner up on c-b), Andy Phillips, colourful local identity “Philip “Thomo” Thomson, Michael “Tickers” Tickner, Russell “Gus The Good Guy” Wenzel
• -2 – David “Jack” Webster
• -3 – Dick Cleland, Andy Spackman (Mars Bar)

If today’s results are any indication, we are in for some cracking golf in 2019. Dick Cleland emerged from weeks in Mars Bar territory while Pat Hallion continued his surge towards form of days gone by. Both scored 43 stableford points with Dick prevailing on a count back. Dick could only manage 24 points on Saturday so his new year resolution to get some practice seems to be paying off already, although he hasn’t started yet. The mercurial Bob Taylor & Trevor Maxted both scored 42. The handicapper was ruthless, deducting 1 stroke from the handicaps of all four..
