Monthly Medal

Posted in Competitions

Ladies

Playing the first medal round of the year off the grass tees appeared something of a challenge to most of the ladies, or perhaps it was the result of being back to our summer slots and the games being very late out.

Kate Emanuel kept up her good form of the last few weeks, but could only manage third place this week on a net 74.  Julie Smyth is this month’s medal winner with a net 71, followed one shot behind by Lia Donath on a net 73. Results…

Men

Scoring a net 65, Graeme Syme was this month’s medal winner by one shot from Aidan Hurley, Roger Darkins and Lee Eden on net 66’s. This was the first medal round of the year off the back tees and the CSS remained at 70. Results…

Five birdies were recorded – Roger Darkins and Graeme Syme on the 3rd, Kerry Sargeant on the 10th and Peter Harrington & Graeme Syme on the 13th.

April Fool’s Day was in evidence with the competition entry being 25p short in one envelope and £10 over in the other! It would be much easier for the competition secretary if you could resist the temptation to get rid of shrapnel in the envelope and stick to £1/£2 coins.

The associated Grand Medal Trophy report due soon. R2 Leader board…

Seven brave souls took part in the March Monthly Medal confronting rain from the beginning and turning heavy on the back nine and gale force winds against on the 18th.
