Presidents Medal 4/Junior Patrons Day/Crossling Cup
The golf season really feels like it has stepped up this month, with medal competitions and white tees back in play. The course has held up well even after the dry spell thanks to our greenkeeping team. The men's competitions this month has seen plenty of good scoring across all events.
In the final Peace Qualifier and President's Medal, we saw a full field in an attempt to qualify for the knockout. Michael Dixon had the best nett score on the day with a superb 64. He had a gross 4 over par back nine for a nett 30 (6 under handicap). Kevin Wooldridge took 2nd place winning on countback from Geoffrey Hunt on nett 67's.
In Division 1, John Edge took the spoils with a nett 67. Starting with a nett 31 front followed by a 36 on the back nine. Mark Gilbertson took 2nd on countback over David Kirkpatrick both with good nett scores of 68. Marcus Dodds had the best gross score of the day with a 69 including 5 birdies, a great score.
Peter Jack currently leads the Order of Merit by 150 points after three great performances in the first four President's Medals, leading Kevin Wooldridge in second and Alan Robinson closely behind in third.
Junior Patrons Day was a huge success with some great golf and support from the members. Thanks to Owen Ridley for organising the day and Kenny Hogg and our sponsors for the prizes for the raffle and auction. Ben Morris, Charlie Cullen, Tom Gilligan and Ben Morris came in second place with 88 points, a terrific score.
