2022: Monthly Medal (2.3.)

 Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa


Today we played our March Medal competition. The format was as usual, Maximum Score, and qualified for handicap adjustment and all ongoing competitions.  We had an attendance of 29 members and welcomed back three previous members, Marcel Barink, Andrea Straus and Damian Sanchez Perez.


There were some good scores.  All the prize winners recorded scores of better than par.  Well played everyone!


Next week we are looking forward to another “first”.  Our Captain calls it “Me Too”.  After your drive, you can move your ball to any of the other players’ spots and take your second shot from there.  This can be done after each drive, but not with other shots.  Needless to say that this fun game will be non-qualifying.


The summary of today’s competition is as follows:

Nearest the pin:

Hole 4 Ignace Boesmans
