Underdogs Cause Upset in Quarter Finals

Aswell as there being shocks in the FA Cup Quarter Finals played this weekend there were also results of the same calibre in this season's Winter League Quarter Finals played at Ashbourne Golf Club over the weekend. All ties were played to time with many of the fancied pairs biting the dust and thinking what could of been. Saturday's conditions were blustery with showers at times but with the course looking very well after the recent bad weather player's were in the position to make good scores.

First out was a preliminary match between Paul Barnett and James "Jimmy" Bainbridge against Aiden Blake and Jim Robinson, and after a tight front 9 it was Paul and James holding the advantage by one hole. The back 9 was all about putting with Aiden and Jim making the first 2 holes theirs, but Paul won the 13th with a par and James won 15 with a birdie 4 to give them the advantage in which the carried on to the 18th with Paul making birdie to close the match with a better ball score of one und er gross and set up the quarter final against Ken "Trigger" Bainbridge and Roger Dear. The match was played after lunch and a very close front 9 saw Paul and James take a one hole lead against the more fancied Ken and Roger. A net birdie by Roger on the 10th hole brought the match level but from here onwards the match turned with Paul having a birdie on 12 and James wining holes 13 and 14 in the rain good enough to take a 3 hole and winning lead with the match concluding on the 16th to see the first shock win of the weekend. It was particulary sweet for James getting one over on his dad. Second match out was Ashbourne's Will Austin and Sean Fernihough another fancied pair against the Longford duo of Andrew Dutton and Mike Taylor. Another close fought match which saw the Longford pair always hold an advantage of one or two holes up until the 15th when the match was all square. Not to be outdone though the Longford lads won holes 16 and 17 to win the match 2 and 1 to cause an other suprise. After playing out the last hole unfortunately for Will his trolley decided to take off and to add insult to injury it ended up in the 18th pond with Will having to wade in and rescue his clubs, bag and trolley. Sunday's weather was far more calm with sunshine and a little breeze the order of the day.

First out were heavily fancied brother's Mark and Adam Wild of Mickleover coming up against Mick Beech and Dave Nash. Again another close match saw it all square at the turn with nothing to choose between the two pairs. It was Mick and Dave who took a slender lead after 16 by one hole and when Adam could only muster a 6 on 17 then the match was all over with Mick and Dave causing the upset. Final match out saw last year's reigning champions from Ashbourne Ian Atterbury and Jim Platt taking on Chris Carter and Steve Walwyn. This game started out very close aswell with Ian and Steve matching each other after 4 holes with Chris then stepping in to take the 5th hole with a bir die. Jim levelled the match up with a par on 7 and then both Ian and Jim scored birdies at 8 to take the advantage. Chris and Jim then holed fine par putts on 9 to leave Ian and Jim 1 up at the turn. A par for Ian at 10 secured the hole, Steve hit back for birdie on 11 but then Jim won 12 and 13 with par, birdie to take a 3 hole lead. Steve and Chris both missed short putts on 14 and a birdie by Steve on 15 reduced the defecit to 2 but poor tee shots let the duo down on 16 and Jim hit a nett par for the hole and victory which sees Ian and Jim into the semi final and hot favourites to defend the Winter League Crown. The Semi Final Draw sees Mick Beech and Dave Nash play Andrew Dutton and Mike Taylor, with Paul Barnett and James Bainbridge against Ian Atterbury and Jim Platt. The winter eclectic for 2008 was highly successful again. Dave Lowe won Division 1 in front of Simon Lockwood and Ken McKeown, Division 2 was won by G Sinclair followed in by A Weild and Nigel Taylor. Divisio n 3 was won by Bernie Brown Seniors Captain with A Gardner and Wally Beeson taking the minor honours.

Members are reminded that the Easter 4 ball better ball takes place on the 22nd and 23rd of March.

A fabulous weekends weather combining cold and frosty starts with glorious winter sunshine greeted the group of winter league pairs this weekend.

Longford Duo Stake Claim

Very few of the big guns took part this weekend due to the fact that qualification was already sewn up ready for the knockout draws to take place on the 21st Feb.

In fine conditions over the weekend only a select number of matches were played with the most vital win coming for Andrew Dutton and Mike Taylor who secured their place in the knockout stages with a fine win over Nick Hamblin and Barry Ritchie winning by the one hole in a nervous battle which sees the Longford pair move into 6th place with a 1.4 win ratio. Mick and Gary Beech of Middleton by Wirksworth chalked up their 3rd win on the bounce in a hard fought match beating Ashbourne's Max Lee and Paul Harrison by the one hole which sees them move into a qualifying position in 7th place. Andy Robb and Paul Skeet of Derby battle on by chalking up a fine win over Jim Sellors and Colin Walker but the duo need to play twice in the next week and win to stand any chance of qualifying. Mick Carter and Da mien Jefferys suffered another heavy defeat which rules out any chance of qualifying beaten 4&3 by Nick Chadwick of Ashbourne and Uttoxeter's Andy Nicholls. Last year's beaten finalists Barry McCabe and Jason Blake beat Wirksworth's Rob Inglis and Craig Murphy 3&1 and both teams really need to play twice and win twice to stand any chance of qualifying. So with one weekend's play left until the cut off mark of 20th February the last 2 places are still up for grabs with a chance for John Mabbott and Alan Slater, Mick and Gary Beech, Aiden Blake and James Robinson, Max Lee and Paul Harrison, Phil Green and Stuart Knight, John Hitchcock and Paul Siddall, James Bainbridge and Paul Barnett all still in contention which will come down to the wire.

Ken "Trigger" Bainbridge & Roger Dear - Another fine win on Sunday


Ashbourne Lads - Sean Fernihough & Will Austin playing well



Chris Carter - had a tremendous round on Sunday

The weather again at the weekend played havoc at Ashbourne Golf Club with a dusting of overnight snow meaning the course was closed all day on Saturday meaning many winter league pairs failed to play again. Sunday though turned out to be ok with a rapid thaw seeing the snow melt and the course reopen with a select group of matches being played.

The big clash of the weekend saw Swinscoe pair Ken "Trigger" Bainbridge and Roger Dear continue their fine season with a one hole win over Stuart Knight and Phil Green who have now lost 3 matches on the trot and put their own qualification into doubt. Ken and Roger had opened up a 3 hole advantage after 7 but then lost the next 2 and one up is how it stayed until the last hole when Roger had a nett 4 to claim the win. Roger said "Its been my first crack at winter league and ive really enjoyed it although I do get a little nervous and Ken has to see me through!". Qualification for the Swinscoe pair is now in the bag along with Mickleover B rothers Mark and Adam Wild who had another fine win over Paul Skeet and Tony Broadhurst who was standing in for Andy Robb and Join them at the top of the table after a 4&3 win.

Sean Fernihough and Will Austin move into 4th place after going on a fine run of form which has seen them win their last 5 matches and puts the Ashbourne Lads most certainly into the last 8. Chris Carter and Steve Walwyn got back to winning ways by beating Nick Chadwick and Andy Nicholls 3&1 after last weeks defeat which moves them into 5th place in the table. Chris did the back 9 in one under gross with some fantastic chipping and putting, saying "A trip to the driving range in the week has made all the difference and thats the best ive played this winter season". Anthony Bates stood in for Alan Slater again partnering John Mabbott to a fine win over Jim Sellors and Colin Walker with Bates going round in 5 over gross. Ian Atterbury and Jim Platt stay in 3rd place by gaining a point in a fine battle ag ainst Barry McCabe and Jason Blake while Mick and Gary Beech handed out a firm beating to Mick Carter and Damien Jefferys 5&4.

With just 2 weeks to go now the battle is on for the qualifiers with the last 3 spaces still up for grabs. The new season at Ashbourne Golf Club starts on March 1st and there wouldnt be a better time for anyone wishing to take up membership to join and get the benefit of a full season.

The club and its members send its best wishes and a speedy recovery to the club secretary John Hammond as on sunday morning he accidentally had a nasty slip on the 8th fairway and paramedics had to be called out after it was feared John may have broken his leg but it was thought later in hospital he had ruptured his knee ligaments.

Ashbourne Men Damien Jefferys & Mick Carter Claimed a good half on Sunday

Weekend of 26th/27th January 2008

Many members were chomping at the bit to get back out on the golf course after last week's closure of the course due to the torrential rain seen in the area. The course had dried out very well in the run up to this weekend, and the drainage system put down in the summer of 2006 on holes 11,12 and 13 faced its sternest test to date standing up to the task extremely well. Blustery conditions faced members at the weekend but at least it was dry and there were also some interesting results as the competition enters its last 3 weeks of play the final 8 qualifying places are still up for grabs. A meeting of the match and handicap committee on Tuesday night declared that due to the closure of the course winter league pairs will now have to play a minimum of 9 matches instead of 10 to qualify.

The big clash of the weekend saw Ken Bainbridge and Roger back to winning ways after a 2 week absence with a slender one hole win over John Hitchcock and stand in sub Harry Dusanjh which saw them back in joint top position with the Wild Brothers after the match ended all square against John Brommage and Andrew Pearson. Ian Atterbury and Jim Platt moved into 3rd place with a beating of Stuart Knight and Phil Green who suffered their 2nd straight defeat and leaves them in 8th position. Platt's fine front 9 score of just 3 over gross set the pair on their way to a fine win. Chris Carter and Steve Walwyn lost their unbeaten record after they were soundly beaten by Father and Son combination of Mick and Gary Beech 3 and 2 and Andrew Dutton and Mike Taylor also lost to Paul Barnett and Jamie Bainbridge who also move into contention just outside of the top 8.

Another pair to suffer a shock defeat were Craig Murphy and Rob Inglis after John Mabbott birdied the last hole to sneak a win and put a dent in the Wirksworth pairs top 8 hopes. Damien Jefferys salvaged a great half for him and Mick Carter against Barnett and Bainbridge who were one under gross for the roun d with a fine nett birdie also on the last hole of which Damien put it down to his lucky green illuminous hat. Sean Fernihough and Will Austin continued their fine run with their 4th straight win to take them into 4th place against Jim Sellors and Colin Walker 3 and 2.

Results for Weekend of 12th/13th January 2008

Although Saturday was a fine day with ample winter sunshine, unfortunately the heavy rain on Friday followed by a sharp frost in the early hours put paid to any play being possible on Saturday with the course having to close through waterlogging. This caught many members out unaware, turning up for play only to be disappointed. The winter league matches for Saturday were therefore lost leaving not much chance to reschedule for Sunday. However onto Sunday and after rain in the early evening of Saturday again put doubt into Sunday's play, the rain let up before midnight and the course had dried out enough to allow play.

A select group of matches were tested by the strong wind and sporadic showers but no matches were halved. Top clash on Sunday saw Chris Carter and Steve Walwyn defeat pacesetters Phil Green and Stuart Knight and keep in tact their unbeaten record by winning 2 & 1. A close fought battle turned after hole 13 when both Green and Knight missed 4 foot putt s to win the hole and then saw Walwyn sink a 15 footer on 14 and birdie on 15 to take control and move the pair into joint 3rd in the table. Mark and Adam Wild of Mickleover now take the lead at the top of the table with a fine win over Mick and Gary Beech 3 & 2 and the pairs gross score stood at 3 under for the round. Local Lads Sean Fernihough and Will Austin carried on their good form by taking another big scalp by seeing off last years runners up Barry McCabe and Jason Blake 2 & 1 after being 3 up at the turn and now see themselves in the qualifying positions after winning their last 3 matches and nudging the losers out of the top 8 positions.

Another in form pair in the form of Wirksworths Craig Murphy and Rob Inglis also step into the top 8 after beating early winter league leaders John Hitchcock and Paul Siddall 2 & 1 with Murphy coming into some good form at the right time. Andy Robb and Paul Skeet earned their second win of the campaign over Ray Keen an d Stuart Hoad, with scratch team player's Jamie Bainbridge and Paul Barnett finding a good win over A Daniel and I Clifford 3 & 2.

Winter League Results for January 5th/6th 2008

The first round of winter league matches to take place in the new year brought some hefty defeats for some pairs and some great battles in other matches. A fine weekend of weather saw some good golf being played with big movers from the weekend being Sean Fernihough and Will Austin who recorded 2 victories over the weekend taking the scalp of Robb and Skeet by winning on the last hole thanks to a birdie from Fernihough, and then giving a good hiding to Setford and Hobson by 5&4 on Sunday. The big clash of the weekend between Andrew Dutton & MikeTaylor and Chris Carter & Steve Walwyn ended all square after a fine tussle. Never behind in the game and still unbeaten Carter & Walwyn missed the opportunity to record a 4th win after throwing away a 2 hole advantage after 14. Ian Atterbury & Jim Platt won again against Mick Carter & Damo Jefferies by 2&1 but with Harry Dusanjh a last minute sub for Atterbury who fractured his ankle bone footballing on for Ashbourne United on Saturday. Mark & Adam Wild retain their place at the top with a fine 2&1 win over Blake and Robinson, with Phil Green & Stuart Knight keeping them company at the top with a thrashing of P & B Bembridge 5&4. Murphy & Inglis now stalk the leaders with a convincing thrashing of Hamblin & Ritchie 6&5. Ken Bainbridge & Roger Dear continue their fine progress with another win along with last year's runners up Jason Blake and Barry McCabe but John Hitchcock and Paul Siddall have started to come undone a little and managed a draw against Bromage and Pearson. Plenty of golf still to be played with only the top 8 qualifying there are sure to be more twists and turns yet before the February 20th cut off point.

enjoying a fine winter league season currently in 3rd place and halved sundays match against Chris Carter & Steve Walwyn below who still remain the only unbeaten team this season

The better day of the weekend was Sunday enjoying a fine and mild day. Saturday started out fine but rain in the afternoon affected the late starters. Headlines of the weekend was the news that the leaders John Hitchcock and Paul Siddall have lost their first game to Max Lee and Paul Harrison who defeated them 4&3. They also lost their lead at the top of the league to 2 pairs who didnt play at the weekend in the form of Mark & Adam Wild and Phil Green & Stuart Knight who share the lead on a 1.6% ratio. The only unbeaten pair now are Chris Carter & Steve Walwyn who scrambled another draw against Craig Murphy & R Inglis (sub) and lie on a 1.5%. Big movers of the weekend were Andrew Dutton & Mike Taylor whose one hole victory against Julian Setford and Neil Hobson puts them in a strong position on 1.57%as they aim to qualify yet again, and a match against Walwyn & Carter next weekend looks sure to be a go od game. A good win for the holders Ian Atterbury and Jim Platt also moves them upto the 1.4% mark and into a menacing position.

Weather conditions yet again brought havoc to the fairways this time caused by thick fog over Ashbourne all weekend with visibility on some holes down to 30 yards. Saturday afternoon was the only time it cleared mainly due to an outburst of rain. Now at the halfway stage with the final weekend set for Sunday 20th February most pairs should have been looking to have played around 5 matches by now with 10 matches the minimum qualifying mark. Some interesting results this weekend saw Ken Bainbridge and Roger Dear taste defeat for the first time by one hole to Bernie and Phil Bainbridge. This allowed Paul Siddall and John Hitchcock to take over top spot with a thrashing of 6&4 over Jim Sellors and Colin Walker. Mark and Adam Wild beat last years champs Ian Atterbury and Jim Platt and Andrew Dutton and Mike Taylor now have 4 wins after beating Max Lee and Paul Harrison. Will Austin and Sean Fernihough battled from 3 down with 3 to play to draw against Steve Walwyn and Chris Carter.

This weekend turned out to be dry weather wise after a couple of wet weeks but was very cold with the biting easterly breeze meaning temperatures struggled to get above 3 degrees celcius. Although the course has managed to recover from all the rain of recent weeks, the frost has certainly got into the ground with the greens remaining frozen all weekend playing havoc with player's balls, who thought they had played the perfect chip shop only to find the ball pinging off the green's and shooting sometimes 30 yards through. The big black crow near to the middle of the 8th fairway has again been causing chaos with several member's reporting seeing the crow taking balls off the fairway and into the adjoining field on the left hand side. Member's are reminded a free drop can only be taken if the crow is seen taking the ball!! As the halfway stage of the season approaches the league table is starting to take shape with P Siddall and J Hitchcock leading the way still with K Bainbridge and R Dear joining them for the top place. P Green and S Knight continue their good form with Mark and Adam Wild, Steve Walwyn and Chris Carter, Aiden Blake and Jim Robinson among the early front runners with still a lot of golf still to be played.

After the Fur n Feather competition the weekend before, Winter League resumed this weekend but only for the die hards who braved the elements on Saturday as the heavy rain submerged the course. The rain which also affected Sunday's play in the fur n feather the weekend before returned with avengence on Saturday and the heavens opened in dramatic fashion as relentless rain fell on Ashbourne. A grand total of 3 matches were played on Saturday and they were very brave souls. A couple of matches were also recorded from the previous weekend and are listed below. New leaders of Winter League 2007/08 at this early stage are Clifton's Paul Siddall and Mayfield's John Hitchcock with a great record of having played 4 and won 4.

Another weekend of mixed weather with Sunday being the better of the two with Saturday being very cold and mixed in with drizzle made it an uncomfortable day out on the course. Sunday although cold stayed fine. The main headlines saw Ken Bainbridge and Roger Dear surrender there 100% record after being held to a draw by Andrew Dutton and Mike Taylor and another pair losing their winning run was Phil Green and Stuart Knight after being beaten by Nick Hamblin and Barrie Ritchie.
