The Gordon Percival Team Trophy was a very close affair. There were 2 withdrawals so the average of all the Stableford Scores (29 points) was used to calculate the final team scores.
In the end, two teams totalled 100 points exactly. One was Nick Schumann, Ian Riches and Richard Westergreen - Thorne and the other was Len Greaves, Sam Standen and Stephen Foster. To separate them, competition organiser Jonathan Lean added up the total of the individual positions in the Martin Ives Trophy to award the prize to the team with the lowest total.
On that basis Len, Sam and Stephen totalled 55 points and Ian, Nick and Richard 70 points leaving the worthy winners as Len Greaves, Sam Standen and Stephen Foster.
Things were very close all the way down the field as equal third were three teams on 97 points:
Laurence Wilson, Peter Evans and Tony Goodson
Clive Morley, Neil Pinnington and Graham Lewis
David Lincoln, Peter Jarman and Graham Berry
Nick Schumann, winner Martin Ives Trophy
Congratulations also go to Nick Schumann for winning the Martin Ives Trophy with a very creditable 38 points. Second was Ian Murray with 37 and third on countback was Nigel Underwood with 36. Commiserations to David Lincoln, Neil Pinnington and Kevin Donnelly who all had 36 points also.
Apart from these 6 players, everyone else returned Stableford scores lower than their handicaps which is a clear indication that the playing conditions were less than conducive. This particularly applies to anyone teeing off at 10am or later who got caught in some very heavy rain. Well done to everyone who soldiered their way through the elements. Jonathan received several communications from people still playing asking what to do if the greens were flooded!
