Venue: Bonalba Golf & Spa, 7 January 2015
After the Christmas holiday season, we were ready to
start the new year with our Monthly Medal competition. There was a good turn out of 32 members and 2
guests. We were all wrapped up well as
we started the round in “near artic” conditions, or so it seemed, especially when
coming round the corner of the first hole where there is always a wind blowing.
Luckily it warmed up later on. Congratulations go to all the winners who
came in with very good results considering the conditoions. There were also some good results for nearest
to pin, four birdies, and three of them were achieved by players who were in
fact not the nearest. It was good to see
two of our newer members in the prizes.
Luc Verhaegen coming third in the medal and his wife Marleen getting
nearest to the pin on hole 4.
We welcomed back our guests John and Ann Brook who finished the round on equal
scores and now doubt will share the
guest prize of a bottle of wine..
Nearest the pins:
Hole 4 Marleen
van DortHole 8 Guy Letort
Hole 11 Clive Dresner
