2017: Monthly Medal (5.7.)

I'm just wondering - what is their combined age?

On Wednesday, 25 members tried their luck in this month's medal and just 2 guests competed in a Stableford competition. The weather was set fair again, with a nice breeze to keep things from getting too uncomfortable.

Eric Pages is making a habit of carrying off the guest prize, 30 points today assuring him of another bottle. Well done to him.

In the centre of the picture above is the overall winner, perhaps the most senior member ever (I'm trying hard not to use ageist words) to carry off the monthly prize - an amazing net score of 70 at the ripe young age of 89. Many congratulations to Keith Preston on this outstanding performance. The results below will show that two members, Graham Sutton and Brian Wakely, ran him very close but were pipped at the post.

It was great to welcome back Doris, our secretary, to our presentation ceremony, and I immediately pressed her into service to hand out the prizes. Here's who they went to :
