Eclectic Stableford at Isle of Purbeck GC 

Mark Staples was the Inaugural winner of Woodvale's two-round eclectic competition. His morning round of 33 left him just one point behind leader Steve Watson. Paul Hanby and Ian Pearce were also joint-second in the morning on 33. Mark scored an afternoon's best level-handicap 36 in the afternoon which gave him a  better-ball score of 42. His bonus points for any hole with better than two net pars gave him three and a half more for a total of 45.5. Al Nawrocki took the runner-up prize with 42.5 pts, having scored the most bonus points. The Isle of Purbeck is a superb venue for a golf day, the food is excellent and you are well looked after. We will definitely be going back some time!

Medal at Canford Magna GC   

Mark Staples made it a fantastic double by winning Woodvale's first ever Medal competition. In an amazing round of golf, Mark and Steve Watson both 12-handicap, tore the Riverside course apart. Steve was +1 after nine with Mark on +2. They were dead level with two holes to play but Steve finished with two bogeys to Marks two pars. Mark had played the back nine        in +1. The other two members of the fourball both shot a  net 70 for joint third. Canford Magna is undergoing work on a new clubhouse which should be ready by 1997. They have two eighteen hole courses and a par-3 nine-hole course.
