BYRON 'Buzz' Lismore produced the standout round of the day in the John Smiths Trophy played on a wet and windy Saturday morning.

He scored a massive 48 points, which was 10 better than anyone else could manage, and he became the player everyone wanted to be drawn with in the Blind Pairs format.

He also saw his handicap drop by almost five shots as a result of his super round in the dismal conditions. 

Sometimes with this format the best score of the day doesn't always win though and one player who knew that well was Steve Jones, who had the best score of the day in the 2014 event but didn't taste victory.

However this time he was crowned the winner when club captain Stuart Wills drew him out along side the superb Lismore for a winning total of 77 points, five ahead of the rest of the pack.

Runners-up were Barrie Tucker (37) and Jason Kidley (35) on 72 whilst Captain Stuart Wills (35 and John Cullinan (33) too third on 68.

Father and son duo of Steve and Alec Bateman teamed up to win the first of the 'Christmas' events this year.

They returned 44 stableford points, which was also the score of Jason Kidley and John Rabbetts but the Bateman's had the better score on countback to take first prize in the Turkey Betterball.

Third place went to Stuart Wills and Andy Thomas on 42.

Bob Toller won a five-way countback in the Seniors November Stableford on a damp Thursday morning.

He, along with Pat Mulholland and Barrie Yearsley, scored 36 points but was declared the winner after a countback had been conducted.

Mullholland took second with Yearsley having to settle for third spot.
