2015: Monthly Medal (1.4.)


We arrived on a beautiful sunny morning to play our monthly medal to be advised we were all starting today off the 10th tee. As it was the 1st April some of us were suspicious this was an April Fools joke but it wasn´t and the early groups quickly discovered that not only were the greens much slower but the early morning dew had not been taken off either, making putting extremely difficult. This was reflected in the scoring with only 3 players playing to par, Unluckily Luc Verhaegen and John Garnett just missed out on winning the coveted medal losing out on countback to Michael Davison. Michael is playing really well and carrying on where he left off last year going further ahead in the Consistency Chart. New member Roger Hunger was in with a good chance of winning his first medal but finished with a 10, OUCH!

We had 25 members playing today and 2 guests.
