THE sixth round of this season’s Five Lakes’ Seniors’ Winter League was played on the Lakes Course.

The sharp overnight Arctic weather conditions had left the fairways and greens frozen for most of the morning.

The tricky conditions required players to pitch well in front of the greens to prevent a lengthy putt or chip back to the hole.

Six teams competed in the three-ball Texas Scramble Stableford competition, played off 1/7 combined handicaps, with the individual accumulated points carried over to the final round in March.

The players, whose best five rounds out of the seven, will compete for the top positions.

Results: Seniors Winter League: sixth round: 1 Tony Tyler, Mick Phillis & Mike Martin 42 pts, 2 Bryan Thompson, David Swain & John Saunders 40 pts, 3 David Barbour, David Owen and Ray Saxer 38 pts ocb, 4 Brian Day, Ken Laight & Peter Gee 38 points ocb.
