2014: Monthly Medal (3.12.)

1st, 2nd and 4th under the Xmas tree
 Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 3 December 2014
 
Today we played our last medal of the year. We had a full capacity turn-out of 37 members and 5 guests.  The weather was kind to us after having had quite a bit of rain lately.  Congratulations to Stephen who is in top form and followed up his win on Captains Day with winning the medal today.  Commiserations go to David who narrowly missed out on the medal.  Graham, our Captain, brought along his own caddy, Angel, and one wonders whether his score was influenced by the support he received.  Angel, our Competition Secretary, unfortunately is not able to play at present as he has had an operation on his shoulder.  We wish him speedy recovery!  The cliffhanger continues on the Consistency Chart with Dennis regaining top place.

The two guest prizes were won by Doke from Holland and again, Brian Wakeley, both scoring 31 Stableford points..

Nearest the pins:
Hole 4            Brian Hines
Hole 8            Clive Dresner
Hole 11          Helmut Treiber
Hole 14          Doris Shearman-Earp

There were two twos today, from Stan Tarabula on hole 4 and Luc Verhaegen on hole 8. Well done to both of them as they were not even nearest to the pin. They receive the customary golf ball.
