Proserpine Veterans Golf welcomed back Captain Gary and Elspeth after their overseas travels. It was a sweltering day for the 25 veteran golfers who participated in the November Monthly Medal and least putts competition, marking the final Monthly Medal event for the 2024 season. Despite the heat, there were some impressive performances, particularly from Paula McQuat and Peter Fox, while John Wallace and Peter Lindsay also posted strong scores. It’s remarkable how quickly the end of the competition year has approached.
In the ladies’ division, Paula McQuat emerged victorious with a remarkable 66 nett, followed by Anna Winterbourn as runner-up with a score of 74. The run-down included Tina Badenhorst and Leanne Alexander with 75 nett, and Kathryn Borer with 77 nett.
On the men’s side, Peter Fox delivered an excellent 67 nett to secure the win, while John Wallace finished as runner-up with 71 nett after a countback. The run-down saw John Oates with 71 nett, and Vic Feldman, Neil Cawthorne, and Craig McLean each with 72 nett. Warren Deighton, Barry Mortimer, and Nic Appruzzese completed the run-down with scores of 73 nett.
Pin shots were fiercely contested. In the ladies’ category, Paula McQuat claimed all three pin shots for B Grade on the 5th, 9th, and 16th holes, while the A graders saw Leanne Alexander take the 5th, Tiina Randmae the 9th, and Tina Badenhorst the 16th. For the men, John Wallace excelled in A Grade with pin shots on the 2nd and 13th holes, while Laurie Dakin secured the 7th. B Grade pin shots were claimed by Peter Lindsay on the 2nd, Neil Cawthorne on the 7th, and John Oates on the 13th.
Paula McQuat also stood out with the least putts for the ladies, while Craig McLean and Peter Lindsay shared the honor in the men’s division. Notable chip-ins came from Anna Winterbourn, Leanne Alexander, Laurie Dakin, and Peter Lindsay.
Looking ahead, the upcoming event on Tuesday, 19 November, is a 2-ball Ambrose, so participants are encouraged to team up with their partners and join in the fun.
