On a day that started with drizzle and ended in glister, Paul Kelsey played his round of the season and won the day by a huge 5 point margin.
Warm weather and a singles match lead John to a terrific score and a win in the medal competition as well as his match.
The draw for the matchplay competitions has been made, see below.

A mixed day at Antrobus saw some good and bad scores, and Paul ending up triumphant marking back to back victories.
Scores:
A hot and sweaty day, was won by Paul Morrisey in a battling and draining game.
An awesome round by Jason blew the field away as he scored a great 36 points on a wet course but a dry day.
Results:
With the lockdown ending (for now) we are starting the winter league again – unfortunately every other golfer has the same idea so getting tee times on the weekend is not as simple as it was.
But the first event has been arranged to kick off the winter league and the new WhatsApp chat is being introduced to allow quicker responses to event suggestions (to allow us to get tees booked). The WhatsApp chat can be seen here.
Handicaps for 2021
With the new World Handicap System being introduced, things will be changing in the new year across the whole of amateur golf worldwide. For the winter league we will be continuing to use our existing handicaps, but the committee is looking at the new system for the new year.
So
The Handicap index is what we currently call handicap (our normal one decimal number).
The Slope Rating is what the course is rated as (different for different tee colours)
The Course Handicap is what you play a match play round off
The Handicap Allowance is what fraction of your handicap you play in each competition – so for us we normally play it as 100% for either medal or stableford rounds, but the new system has the following fractions:
Individual stroke play, Stableford, par/bogey, maximum score: 95%
Fourball stroke play: 85%
Fourball Stableford: 85%
Fourball par/bogey: 90%
Individual match play: 100%
Fourball match play: 90%
Foursomes: 50% of combined team handicap
Greensomes, Pinehurst/Chapman: 60% low handicap + 40% high handicap
Best 1 of 4 stroke play: 75%
Best 2 of 4 stroke play: 85%
Best 3 of 4 stroke play: 100%
Best 4 of 4 stroke play: 100%
Scramble (4 players): 25%/20%/15%/10% from lowest to highest handicap
Scramble (2 players): 35% low/15% high
Total score of 2 match play: 100%
Best 1 of 4 par/bogey: 75%
Best 2 of 4 par/bogey: 80%
Best 3 of 4 par/bogey: 90%
4 of 4 par/bogey: 100%
