There was a most unusual result at Cleethorpes in the June Medal when there was a complete tie for the first place in Division 1. Two of the increasing number of excellent younger players, Alex Mickleburgh and Adam Fenty both off 3 came joint 1st with gross 70, nett 67. They could not be seperated on any count-back and as such will share the spoils. To add another complication to proceedings they also shared the best gross score with Club Champion, Liam Bell. The Club is certainly seeing the fruits of their work in encouraging younger players to play the game as all three of the above are under are under 19! Steve Dick also scored a nett 67 off his 9 handicap and came third. In Division 2 Matt Bloomer triumphed with a nett 67 off his handicap of 13, with John Slesser 2nd with a gross 84 nett 68. Division 3 saw the best score of the day by Richard Cole, who must have had the round of his life with a gross 79 nett 59. His gross score on the inward 9 was 36! In 2nd place, again with an excellent score was Steve Courtney who came in with a gross 93 nett 66. The Ladies enjoyed a great afternoon when they played Laceby away in a friendly match.The Mediterranean weather conditions on Monday certainly lifted their spirits and enabled them to take a 3 1/2 - 2 1/2 victory. On Tuesday 55 Senior Gentlemen enjoyed similar conditions for John Smith's Senior Captains Day. Alan Hill proved to be the worthy winner of the Captains Trophy closely followed by Dave Byatt after a countback. The Best Gross prize went to Mike Simpson and Best Nett, Dave Tidswell. On Wednesday 11th June the Ladies competed in Clive Gibbins Salver, a mixed division, four ball betterball medal. The first, second and third places all scored the same nett 68's. The Salver for this competition was presented to the Club by Janet Broadburn in memory of her first husband, the late Clive Gibbins, a life member of the Club. Janet honoured the Club by presenting the Salver to the winner , and donating the prizes, on a countback, on the back 9 to Kate Appleyard and Jane Littleford, 2nd place was decided on the back 6 and went to Janet Broadburn's great granddaughter, Charlotte Pilter and her partner Gill Woodward, and keeping it in the family, 3rd place on a back 3 countback went to Janet's daughter Judy Garton and her partner Ivy Whiting.What a memorable day for the family!
