Venue: Bonalba
Golf & Spa, 18th November 2015
Finally, we were able to play our Monthly Medal competition
today as the yellow tees where back in their normal positions. 35 members turned up this morning, all eager
to play and hoping that today would be the day when the Medal would be
theirs. Their enthusiasm was helped by
the fact that the glorious weather was continuing and they were able to play in
just shirt and trousers and their swing would not be hindered by various layers
of clothing. But as always, there were a
few “if only’s ….” and some players were kicking themselves for messing up
those last two holes. I am sure you know what I mean, Graham.
It was extremely close at the top with four identical
results and the countback system was used to the full. Congratulations to Santi
who had the best back 9.
Our two guests Nino and Ricky played Stableford and
Nino won with 30 points off 6 handicap.
They have now joined our Society and will be playing as members as from
next week.
