2025: Monthly Medal (15.1.)

The Winners 

Venue:  Bonalba Golf & Spa

 

Today we played our first Medal Competition in 2025 under the new Captain Karen und Vice-Captain Derek Cruickshank.  Karen started her Captainship last week with the customary Drive-in.

 

Karen' Drive-in


We had 24 members and 2 guests taking part. It was a very chilly start, but the sun came out later and we were able to take some of the layers off to give us more freedom in our swing.  The cold may have been a contributing factor to the unspectacular scoring.  Only Richard managed to play to par.  There were, however, four players who managed to putt in on the par 3’s for a birdie. 

 

Congratulations to all the winners.  There were three prizes in each Division.  Stan Tarabula kindly is sponsoring first place in each Division. 

 

At prize giving the Captain told us that an Away Trip was being organised to La Sella in September.  Details are published in our WhatsApp Group.

 

Next week we are looking forward to our Annual Prize Presentation which will take place during Lunch at Bonalba Restaurant.
