2017: Monthly Medal (1.3.)


There were 39 members playing in our second monthly medal competition of the season and the beautiful weather helped many to come in with scores fairly close to handicap. It was pleasing to see Michael and Nino back on the winners podium. Michael after a difficult start played 2 below his handicap with a net 70 and Nino played 1 below his handicap scoring a net 71 and recording the lowest gross score of 78. Well done to you both. The 3rd, 4th and 5th places today were very closely contested with all 3 members playing to their handicap and positions being decided on countback. Now the consistency chart is beginning to look interesting!
After the presentation at Bonalba Golf Club we adjourned to El Foguers Restaurant in El Campello where we enjoyed a good lunch with lots of banter and wine.
Very many thanks to our Captain Gordon for organising this lovely day and thanks also to those members who supported the occasion. After the April medal we hope to have lunch at the Golf Club in order to sample the food of our new chef.
