Derek Wright had a weekend to remember at Freshwater Bay Golf Club.

While playing in the Hampshire & I.O.W. County Sevens match against Ventnor, Derek recorded a hole in one at Freshwater’s notoriously difficult 15th hole.

He then followed that up the following day by going round in a gross 70 in the Club’s Irons Only Competition. It gave him 40 points, and he won the event from Club Captain Chris Tansley and Graham Wells, who both scored 39 points.

The weekend Stableford saw some very good scoring, especially in Division Two. John Burke (11) won Division One, pipping Kasey Tuckey (7) on countback with 38 points. In Division Two John Wisker (23) thought his 40 points would be enough, but he had to settle for second place as Justin Clayton (17) came in with a highly impressive 44 points.

In the Midweek Medal, Division 1 was won by the in-form Graham Wells (11), who only last week was complaining he could no longer play to his handicap, and needed shots back. He scored a nett 66 to win by two from Kasey Tuckey (7). Division Two saw Mike Dowsett (19) win with a nett score of 67, with David Wilkins (16) in second place with 70.

Westridge Golf Club’s midweek Stableford resulted in victory for Ray Watkins (20) with 42 points, ahead of Malcolm Prouten (16) 40 points.who took second spot on countback from Richard Williamson (9), with Terry Lidington (21) also on 40.

There was high points scoring in the Spring Cup which was claimed by Alan Harnett (21) with 45. He was just two in front of Lorna Pacitti (33), who pipped Chris Royl (16) on countback.

In another Stableford competition, Malcolm Prouten (16) took the Division One honours with 42 points, ahead of Richard Daniels (16) on 38, and Chris Royl (16) with 37.

The Division Two winner was Ray Watkins (20) with 41 points, who was one ahead of Terry Lidington (22), with Mike Sadler (24) third with 37.

The PAR competition Division One victory was clinched by Chris Royl (16) with +6, ahead of Dan Mew (13) +5 and Malcolm Prouten (16) +4ocb. Division Two honours went to Joe Goodey (27) +16, from Terry Lidington (22) +6 and Gerald Wilby (26) +5.
