Golf Goes Ahead, February Monthly Results

Our belated February Monthly Medal saw a surprising turnout of 25 players, despite challenging conditions. The course was soggy and heavy underfoot, but fortunately, the rain held off, allowing golfers to enjoy the day even in less-than-ideal conditions. It was great to be back out on the greens, with many enthusiastic players embracing the tough weather.

In the ladies' competition, Elspeth Scotford emerged as the winner with an impressive 77 nett, securing her second consecutive victory. Tiina Randmae finished as the runner-up with a solid 85 nett. The rundown also included Robyn Whitham, Paula McQuat, and Heather Luvis.

In the men's event, Colin Hounsell claimed victory with an outstanding 69 nett. Trevor Peroz took runner-up honors after a countback, demonstrating a fine performance despite the challenging course. The rundown for the men featured Steve Mitchell, Gary Scotford, Larry Muller, John Roser, Laurie Dakin, Craig McLean, and Peter Lindsay.

Elspeth Scotford was the standout in pin shots, claiming two, while Jenny Hounsell, Robyn Witham, and Vickie Wallace also contributed. Among the men, Gary Scotford, Trevor Peroz, John Wallace, Colin Hounsell, and Nick Apruzzese claimed pin shots.

In the least putts category, Paula McQuat recorded 30 putts, while Colin Hounsell and Gary Scotford both finished with 25.

Our next competition will be the March Monthly Medal on 4th March 2025, stroke and count your putts and we’ll see you there
