In a welcome return to form, that talented gopher Stefan Belevski(74) just missed out on another win by only one point.

Results for March Monthly Medal 3/3/12
The March Medal was run, and won on a slightly damp playing surface. Given the conditions, some very handy scores were carded. Six members submitted handicap or better, including two 62!, and a 64.
With positions at the top of both championships changing week to week, today was to be a repeat of the previous round, only with a twist. After claiming the last of the Febuary rounds by a single stableford point over Targe Mifsud, Craig Sharp(73) backed up again taking equal first place. Unfortunatly for our back to back winner, Craig was this week beaten by Targe Mifsud(80) on countback.
Both winners will receive there appropriate handicap deduction, one will take home a medal come December. Well played Targe.
A close second in Oliver Gross(74) Third, Memhit Akdag(77), and forth, Malcom Adey(94) all deserve mention for their consistant stroke performances under difficult conditions.

Results for Saturday 25 Febuary 2012
This weeks round was a busy event. In conjunction to the normal Stableford round, our second International vs Australia Pairs match was played. With a disappointing turnout of only 18 members, constructing the pairups proved difficult. Chris Priems showed his true Islander colours, while Mehmet Akdag had to tackle two Aussies at the same time.
For the record, the Aussies took out this second event 3-2.
For the rounds Championship points, a healthy number(lets call it 8) of members were able to play to par or better. Just under 50% of the field!
The eventual winner was Craig Sharp(77), who simply ate up the course without his usual cutlery(his 1wood, and 3wood). Well played Craig, an excellent start to the season. Targe Mifsud(84) missed out on the full points this week by only the smallest of margins, but can still return home happy with the full compliment of senior point.
Matchplay results: Brendon Mitchell def Harry Boughen 5&3
Eagles nest of 5 high quality balls went off on the, you guessed it, the 17th to Brendon(who seems to be a golf ball collector!)
Money hole this week was collected by Mike Mann, while Harry leaves 4 balls short of his matchplay opponent.
