Congratulations to Duncan Brant on winning the Easter Meeting on Easter Sunday.
Duncan (pictured here) returned a very good score of nett 67 to win the competition on countback from three other players. Taking second place after countback was Andy Taylor, after edging out Wade Ayling and Nigel Swinscoe into third and fourth places, respectively.
Tom Aye Moung won the scratch competition with a gross score of 73. The result was decided by countback again with Nigel Swinscoe losing out for the second time. Junior Lucas Durrant completed the top three returning a gross score of 77.
Six twos were achieved during the competition. The successful players were: Duncan Brant, Greg Kemsley, Chris Riggs, Graham Snelgrove, Nigel Swinscoe and Rob Temple-Smithson. Each player won a share of the twos pot worth £13.66.
The Parafix Winter League team have now completed all their matches following the final game at home against Mid Sussex. I delighted to say Hassocks claimed victory by a score of 3 -2. This result meant we completed the league with a 100% home record, a fantastic achievement. We have also moved back into first position in the league, moving ahead of Mid Sussex. With two fixtures remaining, four teams are still capable of winning the league, hopefully the results will go in Hassocks' favour and we will bring the trophy home.
The individual match results from the Mid Sussex match were: Matt Roberts/Scott Kemsley lost 5&4; Tim Cattaneo/Mark Page won 2&1; Steve Baugh/Danny Burchell halved; Tom Aye Moung/Lee Murray halved and Peter Mullett/Robert Temple-Smithson won 8&6. Congratulations to Team Captain Steve Baugh and everyone who has represented the Club for their brilliant efforts.

Congratulations to Paul Stevens (pictured below) who achieved a hole-in-one on the 17th on Wednesday. Paul plays off a handicap of 27 and receives two shots on the par 3; as a result his ace was worth 6 stableford points! Well played, Paul.
