The final Monthly Medal of the year combined with the Medal Of Medal finals made for some really close encounters not of the third kind. In the Men’s D1 the winner was decided not only on countback, but it was so close it went to countback of the last 3 holes. Chris Wake just pipping Des Ryan for the Medal of Medals and Monthly Medal prize with Nett 66. In the Men’s D2 Paul O’Neill came in with an incredible Nett 60 to win both the Medal of Medals and the Monthly Medal. D3 saw Michael Anderson claim the Medal of Medals with a Nett 67 and Geoff Irwin take the Monthly Medal prize with a Nett 64. D4 Medal Of Medals was claimed by Alan Mansfield with a Nett 69, the daily prize going to Robert Allan with a great score of Nett 61. The Ladies also produced some close finishes. In D1 Bernie Fitzgerald took both titles with a Nett 69 edging out Julie Brown by 1. Janine Smith, in D2, took the Medal of Medals title with a Nett 70 but was beaten by countback in the Monthly Medal comp by Robyn Warren. Finally, in D3 Sandy Dawson produced a Nett 69 to take the Medal of Medals prize with the Monthly Medal going to Babs Behs with a Nett 67. The Christmas Party / Presentation Night is December the 10th, tables are filling up fast, so book your spot now to see all our winners collect their prizes and celebrate Christmas with all your Veteran golfing playing pals.

The 2nd round of the Vets Championships wasn’t about playing good golf, that would not have been good enough, you had to play good golf in a howling wind. Our 6 smiling Vets here did just that. How many rounds were destroyed by the wind ? Mine certainly was and my playing partners. So well done to these players and also to the other overall Championship winners. Jan Johnson makes her second appearance in a week on the website with her win in the Division 3 Nett group, I think your handicap has gone out far enough now Jan – perhaps you should have entered the Ladies Classic afterall. A full list of winners and the various pin and approach shots is now available on our Golf Results webpage

What a great photo, Wendy’s lovely smile gave it away for me. Fantastic sideburns Ross. Thanks to Ross and Wendy Sturwohld for sharing their wedding photograph.
