It was well contested to the very end as Glasgow boy Lawrence McBride won the monthly medal for March by a single stroke on net 68, edging A Flight mate Peter ‘the right honourable’ LeNoury and B Flight winner Jimmy ‘two shots’ Elphick. Lawrence won a lead crystal whiskey decanter, a bottle of Jameson’s Irish whiskey and his name will be added to the Lewiinski’s wall of shame. Lawrence will also receive an invite to the Gold medal to be played later in the year.

Iain Jones followed Jim Elphick up the B Flight steps with a steady net 71, leaving ‘Big’ Kevin Hamilton to tidy up the flight.
Back at Lewinski’s and after the presentation, Lawrence kindly shared his whisky with the lads.

1st Gerard Lambert (24) 38pts
2nd Lawrie McBride (16) 37pts
3rd Merle Humphreys’ (19) 37pts
4th Clair Pettitt (24) 37pts
Greenwood is a popular venue with most, regardless of the journey, so a field of 20 players set out to play the A & B layouts. With hardly any breeze at all it was another very hot and humid day for most of the lads.
Gerard Lambert won the match with a best on the day 38 points and was a stroke clear of four players: Sunday’s hero Lawrie McBride, Merle Humphreys, Bob Fagan and Sean Soden. When the scrap was finished it was Lawrie who emerged from the heap with the silver and Merle the bronze. Bob Fagan filled the fourth podium spot and you can guess were Sean was left.
Wednesday, March 16, Pattana B & C – Stableford
A Flight
1st James Brackett (7) 36pts
2nd Connor Doyle (10) 34pts
3rd Lawrence McBride (16) 34pts
B Flight
1st Peter Henshaw (23) 39pts
2nd Paul Garvey (23) 36pts
3rd Thierry Temime (23) 36pts
The forecast called for one of the hottest days of the year, although this was tempered by a slight breeze that made the day quite pleasant.
A total of 26 players turned out for a day of good scoring, with James Brackett taking first place in A Flight with a solid even par round and Peter ‘ the silver surfer’ Henshaw winning B Flight with a man of the match 39 points. Peter was three clear of Paul Garvey and Thierry Temime, with Paul edging it in the ensuing count back.
James’ A Flight winning score was two clear of a quartet of players in the shape of Connor Doyle, the man on fire Scotland’s Lawrie McBride, Peter ‘the right honorable’ LeNoury and Aussie Lou ‘Zig-zag’. When the divots had settled, it was Connor who lifted the silver and Lawrence the bronze while Peter and Lou were left standing at the bar.
Friday, March 18, Burapha A & B – Stableford
A Flight
1st Lawrence McBride (16) 45pts
2nd John Harrison (16) 43pts

B Flight
1st Thierry Temime (23) 39pts
2nd Gerard Lambert (24) 38pts
3rd Bob Fagan (24) 37pts
A busy week concluded with a visit to Burapha to play the A & B layouts and the players found the course to be in excellent condition while the weather was mad hot and humid.
This month’s medal winner Lawrence McBride fished the week as he started by recording a fantastic 45 points; this was Lawrence’s fourth pay window visit of the week and he might just find a one way ticket to a destination of his choice in his pink envelope.
John Harrison pushed Lawrence all the way with a flawless 43 points to pick up the silver while a trio of players were knotted on 35 points and when the knot was untied it was Chris Schwen who got to fill the final podium spot, leaving Paul Bray and Robert Christie at sea level and potless.
The laurels in B Flight went to Thierry Temime with a rock solid 39 points. Thierry was trailed in by one stroke increments by Gerard Lambert and Bob Fagan in that order.
