2019: Monthly Medal (9.1.)


Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 9 January 2019

With the festive season over, we jumped right into some serious golf to compete for the Monthly Medal.  As the Society calendar starts in February, this was the last Medal which counted for the 2018 season.  Quite a few members have now returned, so we had full attendance of 39 players.

For this Medal, the Captain had decided that the male players with a higher handicap should play from the blue tees with their handicap adjusted accordingly.  This decision seemed to have spurred on some of the players, as shown in the results.

Congratulations to everyone on the winners’ board, to Luc, Rejanne, Pierre, Erik and especially to Gordon, who bagged the last Medal of the year.  The complete list of Medal winners for this year can be found on the right hand side of this blog.
