A very cold start to a monthly medal greeted members in droves. Albeit chilly, the sun still shone upon the twenty-nine competitors. A speedy round was enjoyed, and I believe all noticed how well the greens played.
Celebrations came early for David Rees(63), taking the Medal six days before signing his nuptials. David shot one of the best rounds carded this season, with a 69 off the stick! consisting of 2 bogies front, 1 bogie 2 birdies back. Par the remaining. Dave, and Dawn are to be married this Friday. We wish you both all the best for the wedding, and future. I believe the golf clubs are accompanying them for the honeymoon.
Only three members, outside our winner managed better than par. Well done to Andrew Blight(66), kaZim Akdag(67), and Mehmet Akdag(67). The weekend results have made the hunt for the Club Champion extremely tight, with five players within 10 points of the current leader Emillio bassi.
Second round of matchplay commence this week, with all games to be completed before/ or on the 11th June. The last first round match was played, and won:
Memhet Akdag def Bob McDonald 6 & 5
He may not have received points, but Emillio still came home successful with the cash. A superb shot into the 18th to 79cm! The ball hole went unclaimed! So to all of us who hit the green, and thought “that won’t win”. Worth marking it…
