Peter Merry lead the field in this Casino Medal.

In this competition players can halve their medal score on three pre-declared "joker" holes. Peter cut 6 shots off his gross by his wise choice of jokers.

Handicaps have been assessed using the total gross score without taking jokers into account. As the table indicates the Casino result can depend on the wise choice of jokers.

Bob Flaherty's remarkable 7-under par score won this medal competition despite being chased hard by a posse of 5 sub-par competitors.
Bob recorded 10 birdies in his round which were reduced by 3 bogies.
47 is the lowest net score ever recorded in the club's history. It was first recorded by Roger Stevens when he set the course record (Gross 50, net 47) on 5 October 2019.

Roger Stevens came close to equalling his own course record with his medal score of gross 51 (net 50) to win this medal by 4 clear shots.
Meanwhile, the players counted their putts to compete for the secondary prize of "Fewest Putts". Unsurprisingly, Roger scooped that as well, taking only 22 putts to complete 18 holes.

Hector James, the only competitor to par the course, won the spring away day at Ampfield on 14th May. John Roberts got his ball nearest in the 'Nearest the pin' event.
The forecast rain only made a brief appearance but didn't spoil a day's good golf.

Roger Stevens won this "fun" competition by equalling the course record score of 50 gross (net 6-under par) and 'aced' the 11th Hole. His 50 Stableford points included 8 "joker" bonus points.
In this event players can earn bonus points by doubling their Stableford points on 3 pre-declared (joker) holes.
Simon Dewhurst earned 9 bonus points on his 3 jokers.

The doubtful weather did not deter members from celebrating the 10th anniversary of the founding of the club.

The club chairman, Peter Merry, presented the Founder's Shield to the winner, Iain Powell (right). Iain's win was all the more remarkable because he won with a score of 3-under par, the exact same score as he returned to win last week's medal event.
