2014: Monthly Medal (2.7.)

Venue : Bonalba Golf &Spa, Wednesday, 2 July 2014

Today we played our Monthly Medal for July.   There were 25 members competing for it on this hot and humid Wednesday.  Chris and Dennis must have fancied their chances to win this Medal, both coming in with under par scores.  However, Richard surpassed them all with a gross score of 75, which is less than the majority of us had as a nett score!  An exceptional round of golf, the best score for anyone for a long time!  Well done, Richard!

As is customary after playing the Medal competition, most of us stayed behind, and were joined by some guests, to enjoy a good lunch on the terrace of the Bonalba Golf Club Restaurant.

We also had a guest  playing with us today, Andre from the Midlands who scored a credible 32 points.

Two additional prizes today were on hole 10:
2nd shot nearest the pin (men):  Richard Davis
3rd shot nearest the pin (ladies):  Christiane Tarabula

Nearest the pins on the par 3’s :
Hole 4            (ladies only) Pascale Leroux
Hole 8            Richard Davis
Hole 11          Jean-Paul Leroux
Hole 14          Dennis Pyman

There were also two twos today, Richard Davis on hole 8 and John Webber on hole 14.  Both receive the customary golf ball.
