2006 REPORTS ROUND-UP
November/December 2006
Boston West Golf Centre has played host to a
clutch of women’s competitions during the past few weeks.
First up, June McLennan landed top honours
in the November stableford Her score of 34 points, two ahead of runner-up Barbara
Vipond.
Meanwhile, there was a good turn-out for the
first round of the club’s winter league contest. The foursomes competition
finished with Hannah Edmunds and Ann Creasey on 34 points and Millie Miles
and Val Aspland also on 34 points. All four players now take half their scores
through to the next round, which will be played on January 14.
There was an order from the club captain for players to don red headwear for
the Christmas “bring and win” contest. Several entrants wore Santa hats for
the nine-hole Texas scramble competition. Conditions were windy but this did
not prevent some excellent play. The winning team of Rachel Gedney, Betty
Gedney, Cherith Needham and Adria Brandon finished with a nett score of 24.
Back in the clubhouse, the intense rivalry continued with a Christmas quiz,
Val Aspland, Ann Creasey and Jenny Hunt winning with a score of 33 points.
To add to the fun, several rounds of the game giant Jenga were played before
the day was finished off with the traditional Christmas meal.
The scores for the golf and quiz were combined and the overall winning team
was Tracey Harrison, Herlinde Cunningham and Shirley Stevenson. And finally, Angie
Chilvers played consistently to gain an emphatic win in the December medal
with a score of nett 74. Julie Brereton was runner-up with a nett 83.
September
2006
Seniors section
Senior members from Boston West Golf Centre played in a
well-contested September monthly medal competition when conditions were
reasonably kind. New member Brian Daniels took top honours with a nett score

Juniors section
The junior team from Boston West Golf Club tackled
their counterparts from Kenwick Park Golf Club in the Lincolnshire League
final, a match contested at Boston Golf Club. And it proved a tight encounter
with the end result being 1½-1½ over a format of three better-ball matches
played in handicap order. Each side gained one victory while the third match
was halved. But unluckily from a Boston West perspective, the overall outcome
went to a countback decider of holes won and lost. And Kenwick Park gained
the ultimate verdict. Players representing Boston West were Paul Thomas, Josh
Edmunds, Adam Keogh, Dan Rowland, Lee Drury and Patrick Kelly. In addition,
mention also goes to Josh Van Haren and Lee Melton who had been part of the
club’s junior squad that tackled matches in the earlier rounds of the
competition. Elsewhere on the club’s junior front, Lee Drury, Adam Keogh and
Dan Rowland will represent Lincolnshire in the English Junior Club
Championships, to be played over two days at Woodhall Spa on October 21 and
