Wilding Cole Final

The final of the Wilding Cole produced an usual concoction of results, games were won or lost and a nail biting result was yet again on the cards as the tie reached its final stages finely poised at 3 and half points each with just one match to finish. All the teams and supporters were gathered around the 18th fairway and green with the match all square, but Knole Park had accrued more won holes so Ryan Welch had to win as half was no good. This was when all the drama started.

Firstly the Knole Park player drove into bushes on the right and Ryan hooked his tee shot into the trees. After their recovery shots were played the match was still up for grabs. They both found the fringe of the green with Knole Park chipping to 15 foot. John Reeves uttered the immortal words "don't worry Ryan is a great wedge player"...he produced a fantastic fat chip of 2 foot!!! Still with the honor he regrouped and chipped to 2 foot but we were not looking good. Knole Park then took 3 putts to hole out so it was all on Ryan to sink his 2 foot putt which now appeared to be more like 10 foot. With nerves of steel he holed out to seal the victory and gave the team an unlikely win.

Well done to our team of Gavin Haynes, Bernie Rowland, Pat Owen, Richard Jones, Gordon Hedley, John Reeves and Ryan Welch, all marshalled superbly by team captain Martin Clark.


Medal Comp

What a very consistent season it has been for Dave Nash his good form in 2015 continues. Starting the year at 4.4, he is now down to 2.1 after winning the Gold division of the Medal played over the East course on Saturday, with a nett 68 from Simon Wood who shot a nett 69. Tim Thorogood was in third place with a nett 70. 

In the Silver division Lee Conlon took the top spot with a nett 72, with Jobi Thorogood going one better than his dad, when picking up the runner-up spot with a nett 73 on countback from Shaun Ryan.


Ladies Stableford

The ladies Stableford played on the West also on Saturday was won by Christine McGarry with 38pts from Julie Goldsmith who was the runner-up with 37pts.


Tour news

 The European Tour travels to Russia this week for the first counting event in the race to qualify for the 2016 Ryder Cup. David Horsey is defending champion in the M2M Russian Open. 

This event provides a great chance for those European players in the field to gain a head start on their rivals in the race to earn a place on Darren Clarke's team for next year's Ryder Cup at Hazeltine National in Minnesota. 

David Horsey will start amongst the favourites. He won this event last year and comes into this year's tournament with confidence following his recent victory in the Made in Denmark. 

Former Ryder Cup players Soren Hansen and Edoardo Molinari will tee it up this week, as will past winner Michael Hoey and former tennis star Yevgeny Kafelnikov. 

This will be the ninth time the Russian Open has appeared as a fixture on the European Tour schedule. Marcus Fraser was the winner of the first instalment in 2003. Since then Gary Emerson, Mikael Lundberg (twice,) Alejandro Canizares, Per-Ulrik Johansson and Michael Hoey have been champions. 

Last year David Horsey recovered from a back-nine blip to tie Damien McGrane after 72 holes. The Englishman then beat the Irish golfer at the first hole of a sudden-death playoff. 

There's a new venue for this year's tournament. The course at Skolkovo Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus signature design located close to the centre of Moscow. It's a parkland style layout featuring six large lakes and 113 well-placed bunkers. 

The weather forecast for the week looks mostly settled with a chance of showers on Friday. 

Player watch: 

Robert Dinwiddie - Playing on a medical extension, Dinwiddie has been on great form of late. He was tied 10th in the European Masters, tied 11th in the Made in Denmark and then fourth last week in the Czech Masters. 

Damien McGrane - He lost in a playoff for this event last year and he comes into this week's tournament on the back of a good result in the Czech Republic - a tie for eighth. 

Michael Hoey - Winner of this event in 2013, Hoey is recognised as one of the most talented players on the European Tour, and someone who maybe should have enjoyed even more success than he has. He's been on solid form this year but has only two top-10 finishes to his name in 2015. He'll be looking to ramp things up as the season reaches its climax. 

Key hole: 18th. This is a classic Jack Nicklaus par-5 finishing hole with water a threat on both drive and approach. A creek linking two lakes waits on the left side off the tee and a cleverly placed bunker on the right side of the fairway 280 yards out forces players towards it. On the approach the player will have to decide how ambitious they are feeling. To reach the green requires a bold shot across the water, the further right a player aims, the shorter the carry. This hole will almost certainly produce some drama at the end of the week.
