TBA / June Monthly Medal
Ladies
7 ladies contested the re-arranged June Monthly Medal, although conditions were somewhat different from the original date. Not only did the clocks change, but so did the temperatures and it was a sharp reminder of winter golf, along with the move to mats for most holes.
Susan Smith defied conditions to win by 4 shots from Lia Donath and Suzanne Molloy, with a net 73. Results…

Wimbledon Common Friendly
We played our return match at home against Wimbledon Common. We lost away 3½ to ½ last year so were relieved that home advantage helped us to a 3 to 1 win. The refreshments provided after were a joint effort by the home team for which many thanks. Results…
Singles Medal & Autumn Meeting Medal
Ladies
The Autumn Medal round is usually a well attended event, but perhaps most of the ladies had early warning of the forecast and unfortunately there were 2 Double C matches also taking place.
Amazingly 3 of the 4 of them struggled on against the wind and paddled through the rain to complete the 18 holes, despite a number of flooded greens. The three finishers were Susan Smith, Deborah Potter and Inge Mitchell in that order.
Susan said to be kind with the report – so no numbers!!! Results…
Men
Play was in atrocious conditions and many returned to clubhouse after 11 holes. However, Nick Rogers was undeterred, attired in shorts to win with a 67, two ahead of Stuart Kerr 69. The competition was ‘abandoned’ for handicap purposes, resulting in CSS=SSS 70 Reduction only with both Nick and Stuart being cut. Results…
The team event was hotly contested with Ed Hennery, Mark Scott, Nick Rogers and Osman Chaudry proving the winning group on 137, one ahead of Ewan Tait, Jon Cooper, Malcolm McKinlay and Stuart Kerr.
All gathered in the ‘cabin afterwards to wish Tony McCullagh all the best for the future and enjoy the splendid feast set out.
