Category: John Saxby Competition

The penultimate scoring week of this years competition saw Mike Dale win with a score of 86, Mike’s second win of the season. Second was Liz Webb on 72 and third place went to Sheila Dix on 70 points.

NB – Next week is the final week for adding to your score total, the following week (17th September) will be just for fun and to present the award to this seasons winner.

Alison and John stay in the top two places, Mike’s win today moves him into 3rd place. Looks pretty much Alison competition, unless John scores about 150! next week to over take Alison.

Unfortunately today’s Competition had to be abandoned due to the tremendous downpour, so no scores to report. Not great for the members but much needed for the lawns especially with the North of England Championships taking place this weekend.

Please note that next week (3rd September) will be week 18 of the competition and will be open to 20 members, please don’t forget to book yourself in on the Lawn Booking system.

Week 19 on Thursday 10th September will be the last opportunity to improve your score, and as we will be down to two lawns that day, it will be restricted to 12 competitors.

Week 20 on 17th September, again for 12 members, will be just for fun and the presentation of the Trophy to ……. I wonder who it might be??

Here’s a reminder of the top 5 of the table.

Position	Member	Score	Movement	Wins	Score to Beat
1	Alison Acton	617	=	5	50
2	John Lambie	533	+1	2	43
3	Lorna Frost	501	-1		39
4	Andrew Winn	468	=	2	0

Ten members arrived at the club thinking the weather would be fine . However, half way through the session the heavens opened, much welcomed in a way, but halted play whilst the lawns became somewhat flooded, see the photos below.

The floods soon ebbed and play continued, John Lambie with a score of 83, was today’s winner, his second success of the season. Second place with 78 points went to Mike Dale and Gerald Fitzgerald was third with 62 points.

Not much change at the top of the table, Johns win today swops him round with Lorna, Alison still out front, with what may well be an unassailable lead!

Position	Member	Score	Movement	Wins	Score to Beat

2	John Lambie	533	+1	2	43

Due to the hot weather just 6 stalwarts of the club turned out for this weeks Saxby. The Heat was even too much for them as they only managed to play two games before calling it a day. Charles Harding came out on top with 43 points, Carol Steinberg came second on 40 points and in third place Lorna Frost on 35 points.

With just a few members playing this week and just two games we have seen any change to the top five which remains as it was last week:

Position	Name	Total Points	Movement	Wins	Score to Beat
1	Alison Acton	617	=	5	50
2	Lorna Frost	501	=		39
3	John Lambie	472	=	1	22
4	Andrew Winn	468	=	2	0
5	Ken Cooper	447	=	1	30

Fourteen members arrived, raring to go, chomping at the bit, a piece of chocolate the ultimate aim of the day! There’s also the side issue of who can knock Alison Acton off top spot! Ken Cooper came out on top with 87 points, followed by Lorna Frost on 80 and Adrian Apps on 78.

The top five looks like this, Alison retains top spot, Ken’s win today moves him up 6 places into the top five, Andrew moves up 2 places and Lorna’s second place today moves her into second place overall.

Position	Name	Total Points	Movement	Wins	Score to Beat
1	Alison Acton	617	=	5	50
2	Lorna Frost	501	+1		39
3	John Lambie	472	-1	1	22
4	Andrew Winn	468	+2	2	0
5	Ken Cooper	447	+6	1	30

Twelve members started out in this weeks competition, but the toll of the weather soon took hold and a smaller number finished the day off. Andrew Winn however stayed the course and as a result he was first past the post with a score of 86, second was John Lambie with 70 and third place was Nigel Matthews with 53.

Alison’s lead looks unassailable but there are still a number of weeks still to play, Alison has to score at least 51 next time out to increase her score. John moves up 3 places into second. Andrews first place today puts him just outside the top 5 in 6th place. The rest of the top five looks like this:

Position	Name	Score	Movement	Wins	Score to Beat
1	Alison Acton	617	=	5	50
2	John Lambie	472	+3	1	22
3	Lorna Frost	438	-1		17
4	John Bagnall	408	-1		32
5	Cas Sinclair	405	-1		29

Alison Acton, despite her recent handicap change came out on top, her 4th win of the season with a score of 82. John Lambie came second with 75 points and Andy Jackson came third on 68 points.

Due to the oppressive heat this week, its been decided to cancel the John Saxby competition this week.

Thanks

Ten members braved a wet and soggy day, just for the chance of a piece of chocolate. This week, surprise surprise, Alison Acton won, her fourth of the season. Sadly for Alison her win also caught the eye of the handicap committee and her handicap was reduced to 16. Well done on the win Alison and well done on your handicap drop. Cas Sinclair came second with 69 points and third place went to Lorn Frost with 66 points.

Alison’s run of wins unsurprisingly moves her into top spot in the overall table, demoting John into second place, Lorna moves up a couple of places. The top five looks like this:

Position	Name	Total Points	Movement	Wins	Score to Beat
1	Alison Acton	457	+2	4	0
2	John Bagnall	425	-1		32
3	Lorna Frost	415	+2		17
4	Mike Dale	368	-2	1	0
5	Sheila Dix	353	-1		18

Now we have passed the 8th Week and it’s the top 8 scores that count, the table now includes the “Score to Beat” ie the worst score of players top 8 scores.
