SUNDAY was a beautiful day for the men’s March Medal, writes Peter Crowter.

Fifty-seven men took part in the pleasant conditions and maybe the nine who didn’t finish had to get back in good time to have lunch with their mums on Mothering Sunday.

The lowest nett score came from Division Three where Robert Smith’s nett score of 64 was four shots clear of his nearest rival on the course. This score earned him a two-shot handicap reduction.

Marc Harwood won Division One with a card of 68 while Martin Horton took Division Two with a nett 71.
