Venue: Bonalba
Golf & Spa, 5th August 2015
Today we played our Monthly Medal competition. Many of our members preferred to go to the
beach or to other locations to seek relief from the heat, so we had a depleted
field to compete for the medal. John
came in with a fantastic score of 39 points.
The conditions obviously suited him, more so as he was walking the
course rather than go by buggy which was the preferred way of playing by many
of us. The results showed quite a big
gap between the scores net 70+ and 80+ of 5 shots. So there was a definite “them” of the first
seven and the rest of “us”. In fact a
pack of 4 chased the winner, all with a net score of 35. Again, as there were less than 28 members
competing, only three prizes were given.
Sorry, Richard and Michael!
We welcomed one guest today, Yves, a friend of the Leroux
family, who, to nobody’s surprise, won the guest prize.
Summarising the results:

Hole 8 had the magic touch, as it posted 3
twos, by Richard Davis, Graham Sutton and Chris van Bemmelen. They all receive the customary golf ball.
