Venue : Bonalba
Golf &Spa, Wednesday, 3 September 2014
Today we played the September Monthly Medal. There was a good turnout of 31 members. The
Captain welcomed back some of our “swallows” , Jim, Kate and Terry who returned
to a sweltering Spain. Quite a few of
the members who would normally walk the course, opted to take a buggy and
respect to the players who bravely soldiered on pushing their trolley in these
hot and humid conditions! We had two extra prizes today for 3rd
shot onto the green. Marie-Josée won the
Ladies’ prize on hole 9 but none of the men qualified on hole 15, probably due
to the fact that the rule this time was that all shots had to be taken off the
fairway. Well done to Clive for an excellent win pipping Terry to the post by
one shot!
We also had one guest today, Xavier from Belgium, who
scored a credible 28 Stableford points.
As is tradition after Medal play, our Captain had
arranged a lunch, this time at the Bonalba Golf Club restaurant and some 30
members plus guests enjoyed a good meal in excellent company.
Nearest the pins on the par 3’s :

There were also two twos today, on hole 8 from Clive
and on hole 14 from Bob, winning back one
of the golf balls he sponsors.
