Club Championship - Quarter and Semis

Saturday was Quarter and Semi Finals Day for both the Men and the Ladies. An early start on a superb sunny morning brought out some excellent golf and a number of exciting matches. The course was in great condition and the recent rains made the greens receptive. In the Men's quarters in the morning, Steven Quince beat Graeme Hewitt, Paul Shanks beat Karl Mossom and Ian Davidson beat Daniel Deakin. In the Ladies matches, Candy Paige-Brown beat Amanda Pattison, Deborah Welch beat Gill Davidson, Yvonne Welch beat Ciaran Hannon and Angela Rumney beat Terry Hallows. In the Men's seniors, there were wins for Mick Mcginney, Kenny Shepherd, Paul Gaughan and me. The Semis were played on the afternoon in glorious sunshine and 25degreesC. The greens had quickened up and the golf was played at a similar pace. In the first of the Men's matches Steven Quince continued his morning form with a string of birdies to beat Daniel Trotter. In the second match, Ian Davidson staged a comeback only to lose on the 17th to Paul Shanks. In the Ladies matches Candy Paige-Brown beat Deborah Welch and Angela Rumney beat Yvonne Welch. So the men's and ladies finalists are set for their 36 hole championship deciders next Sunday. Just lets hope that the weather is as good as today.
