The last Tuesday of the month is always the ‘Medal’ which is not universally liked by the membership. A return of several shots over par at the watery holes 3 and 7 or the difficult bunker-ringed hole 8 can ruin what could have been a very promising round. Today’s winner Martin Rickman mentioned to me, pre-round, that it was about time he won the medal as he had not done so for at least two years and, sure enough, he triumphed by 4 shots.
Nearest the Pins, Hole 1 – John O’Brien and Hole 8 – John Wilby.
3rd Place, Handicap 5, John O’Brien – 60 shots.
2nd Place, Handicap 8, David Swann – 59 shots.
1st Place, Handicap 9, Martin Rickman 55 shots.
