This Wednesday we played our last Monthly Medal for 2025.  The format was maximum double par per hole and qualified for handicap purposes.

 

We had an attendance of 21 members.  Scores today were unusually high, the best coming from Stan with a 75 net.  In Division 1, there was a battle for 3^rd place, with 4 players coming in with a 77.  Richard beat Edi Rogers, Eddie Fagg and Francois Viard on lowest handicap.

Also, nobody scored nearest the pin on any of the four par 3’s.

A big thank you goes to our Captain Karen, together with her two helpers Derek and Richard for their hard work and great efforts to make this a most enjoyable and memorable trip.  We all had a great time on and off the golf course.
