Last Friday saw plenty of members playing in the penultimate Sidmouth Jewellers Stableford of the season, and enjoying the unseasonal good weather, writes Hugh Dorliac.

The winner on countback was Matt Bavington with 37 points, shaving one stroke off his handicap.

Also improving his handicap was in-form Howard Cushing, who came second, also with 37. The ever consistent Kevin Legg came third on 36.

This week’s Upper Crust Monday Stableford was the last of the season and it saw a new line-up of winners.

Fresh from his third place racing success in Japan, Tipton St John’s Harry Ticknell played solid golf to win with an impressive 40 points, earning him a one stroke reduction off his handicap, before heading out to Shanghai for his last race of his season.

In second place was Marc Jenkins on 37 with Richard Trim on 35 in third.
