| Winners Monthly Medal |
Venues: Bonalba Golf & Spa & El Plantio
Medal play was postponed from the first Wednesday in the month to this week as we were able to go ahead with the previously planned Away Day on the 2nd December.
Today, back on home ground, we had prize giving for the two competitions.
Our Medal competition was attended by 25 members and 1 guest. To reduce playing time, the chosen format was maximum double score. This is slightly more forgiving than full stroke play as the maximum score on each hole is double par. You could argue that this favours the higher handicapper as there are no double figure scores of 11 and above, which occasionally would happen.
Congratulations to everyone on the winners’ board for some excellent results where everyone scored below par.
The summary of the results are as follows:
Nearest the pins:
Hole 4 (hcp 22+) Pascale Leroux
Hole 8 (hcp 22+) Chris van Bemmelen
Hole 11 (hcp 0-21) Greta Biersteker
Hole 14 (hcp 0-21) Michael Davison (very nearly a hole in one)
There were 3 birdies: on hole 4 from Pascale, on hole 11 from Brian Hines and on hole 14 , surprise, surprise, from Michael.
The main competition results were:
5th place with a net score of 71 off 30 hcp – Graham Sutton
4th place with a net score of 69 off 33 hcp – Doris Shearman-Earp
3rd place with a net score off 26 hcp – Brian Hines
2nd place with a net score of 68 off 25 hcp – Pascale Leroux, with a better back 9
1st place with a net score of 67 of 23 hcp – James Burnet
Last week we had the pleasure of playing at El Plantio. It had been a while since we played an Away Day on this course, so this made a nice change. The course was in good condition with fast greens, so putting was a bit of a challenge. We had a good turnout of 26 members and 3 guests competing for a number of prizes with generous sponsorship from Bill Williams. We played a team game of three best Stableford scores and, in addition, there were prizes for the four best individual scores.
The summary of the results are as follows:
Guest prize – Elsie Buczko

Hole 7 Richard Davis
Hole 9 Richard Davis
