2021: Monthly Medal (1.9.)



Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa

 

Today we played our September Medal competition.  We had 21 members competing for the Medal and one guest. This competition qualified for all Society competitions and also for the Worldwide Handicap.

The weather forecast had predicted thunderstorms, but we were lucky with the weather, so much so, as we only had 15 minutes or so of rain, when around us and other parts of Spain had suffered some very bad storms.

The outstanding score today came again from our Captain Brian Hines whose short game and especially his putting is, what can only be described as awesome.

 




Today there was also the prize presentation of the Champagne Challenge Summer Trophy for the best consistent player for June to August, sponsored by Stan and Christiane Tarabula.

The winners were:  

Division 1 – Richard Davis

Division 2 – Chris van Bemmelen
