2026: Monthly Medal (5.8.)

Venues:  Bonalba Golf & Spa

 

This Wednesday we played the August Monthly Medal, playing the front 9 twice.  The format, as always, was maximum double par per hole and qualified for handicap purposes

 

We had 19 members and one guest competing, in this searing heat.  The extreme weather conditions showed up in the results.  There were quite a few net scores in the high 70´s.  The outstanding score was from Tony with 71.  His special method of keeping cool might have just done the trick.

Well done Santi, who made the par 3, hole 4 his own.

Congratulations to all winners and everyone else who finished their round in this heat..

 

Tony, cooling off

After golf we got together for lunch at the Club Restaurant inSavia. We were delighted that Stan and Christiane Tarabula joined us for the meal and hope that Stan will be able to return to golf very soon.

The back 9 is now closed for a while for maintenance, therefore we played the front 9 twice.  So the players who were walking, thankfully did not have to negotiate the hills on the back 9 in this hot weather.

2026: Indiv. Stableford (24.6.)

Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa

 

Today’s competition was an Individual Stableford.  We had a turn-out of 25 members, and we were delighted to welcomed our newest member, Casper Moerbeek. 

 

We started both, from hole1 and hole 10, which shortened the waiting time for the prize giving.  This was the last time for us to play the back 9 for a while, as it will be closed for course maintenance for two months.

 

Like last week, there were some very good results in both Divisions.  Karen bettered her excellent 41 points to an outstanding 45 points.  I don´t know if she was jumping for joy, but, unfortunately, she had a fall and fractured her foot.  We all wish her a very speedy recovery.

 

Congratulations to all the winners.
