TONI Prince was crowned winner of the Hampshire Golf Club’s latest tournament, the Hampshire Hundred.

The competition is open to all sections and is a non-qualifier in handicap terms. Participants play the par 72 course, plus their handicap entitlement, and the player who gets the furthest around the course in the allocated number of shots wins the competition.

Players playing below their handicap start at the first hole again and play on until all their shots are used up.

There was a good turnout under sunny skies, but the blustery conditions made things difficult for a number of participants.

Prince, who finished just short of the first green, handled the conditions best to take the crown. And there was a real battle for the runner’s up spot, with Neil MacGowan taking second after his shot to the 18th finished just two inches closer to the 18th hole than Tracy Price.

Elsewhere, the second round matches in the Seniors’ Winter League saw Hampshire GC come back with a share of the spoils from their tough away trip to last year’s winners Weybrook Park.

First pair, captain elect Alan Dixon and Guy Davis halved the first match, after being 3-0 up at one stage, but Paul Ridge and Mick Mumford recorded an excellent 3 and 2 victory to give Hampshire GC the lead.

Match three saw the home side winning comfortably by 6 and 5 against Vince Klass and Ted Richards, but the pairing of John Rogers and Barrie Thompson teamed up once again to get an excellent 3 and 2 victory to put the away side ahead once again.

Unfortunately it was not to be a win for Hampshire GC as Dean Cresswell and Richard Hale came up against a formidable Weybrook pairing and lost 5 and 4.

However, a half was a great result and it means Hampshire GC are now in second place after two matches with three points. Alton lead the way on four, Test Valley are next with two points and Andover also have two.

Weybrook Park are next with just a point and Dummer have yet to gain any points.

The Hampshire GC ladies held their autumn meeting over two days during October.

The strong winds on the first day made a huge difference to the scores so the winners came mostly from the second day’s play.

In first place was Jacqui Norris with 38 points, second was Sue Davis with 35 and third place was Shirley Eason with 34.

Rosemary Parnell won the prize for the best par fives and Audrey Welfare was the winner of the best par threes prize.

The hidden hole was number three, which was won by Madeleine Probyn with a par four in extremely windy conditions.

At the evening dinner prizes were also presented for the summer eclectic, which was won by Julie Dixon with Shirley Eason second and Madeleine Probyn third.

The 2014 Stableford trophy was presented to Toni Prince and the medal winners’ trophy to Rosemary Parnell.
