THE latest round of the Win­ ter Singles competition at- Mytton Fold Golf Club pro­ duced the tightest of.finishes on Saturday when four play­ ers carded nett 57 scores over


.the shortened 16-hole winter course.


Light winds and a wintery


sun brought out a healthy field, but the competition was fiercest in the clubhouse as Captain Elect Peter Main (pictured) poured over the cards to resolve the results. The card play-off resulted


in a win for Ian Hopcraft with Dave Clegg second and John Hammond third. Fourth placed Gary Aldred

The aforementioned Peter


Main took fifth, beating John. Parkinson on a eard play-off when both players finished just one shot behind the leading quartet. Leading lady Hazel Sellars finished seventh overall, a fur­ ther shot in arrears. Judith Kay finished second


lady whilst Tatja Wilson, fresh from her win in the previous evening’s golf club quiz, fin­ ished third. The men’s Order of Merit is


now very close at the top. The currently incapacitated


Steve Worrall shares the lead with Dave Clegg ahead of the closing John Parkinson, Gary
