Monthly Medal  - Final Results

The monthly medal competition was completed with the final round on Sunday 14th December. The extensive period of  inclement weather was the probable cause of a reduced turn-out and the tricky conditions were to prove challenging. Once again our captain Martin Blatchford led by example achieving the lowest gross score on the day (84)  followed by Mark Scard with gross 92 and Mark also had the lowest nett score of 73. The overall Order of Merits were won by Nigel Bow with 16 points and the gross Order of Merit was won by Kevin Down with 26 points. Congratulations to our worthy winners and well done to all those who took part throughout the year. Good luck in the 2026 competition.
