When one hole in one is not enough...

There was a flurry of excitement at Cowdray Park when two seniors achieved holes in one on par threes. Mel Milburn scored his ace on the third and Peter Laws didn’t need his putter on the ninth.

The holes in one were in the same round and, even more amazingly, the pair were sharing a buggy.

* Cowdray Park Seniors visited West Sussex GC hoping to emulate their 7½-½ home victory earlier in the year.

The West Sussex course was in excellent condition but the Cowdray team seemed to think the tricky heather had spread significantly since their last visit.

West Sussex is a 2 ball course so the matches were foursomes; the change of format proved challenging for the Cowdray team who lost 5½-2½.

It was played in a very friendly manner.

Results: Rob Doney & Paul Owen lost, John Newman & Justin Chuter won, Phil Harrison & Jonathan Fife lost, Robin Phillips & Chris Hoare lost, Chris Hutchings & David Wickham lost, Peter Bennett & Steve Calder-Smith won, John Durrell & Peter Halt lost and David Fowler & Mike Cardiff halved.

* Congratulations to Steve Mitchell for shooting a gross 69 (nett 68) to win the Cowdray September monthly medal. Second was Nick Beaumont with nett 68 and third Ben Marley nett 69.

* Irene Matheson and Neil Cockeril won the Cowdray Mixed Open with 43 Stableford points. Second were Bruse Hosking and Sue Hosking with 42 points and third Martin Mitchell and Ginette Mitchell, also with 42, losing on countback.

* The Cowdray ladies Munro Trophy, a Stableford competition, was won with 33 points by Sandra Barber. Corrine Hitching was second with 33 points and Jenny Clegg third with 23 points.
