Saturday February 23rd – Monthly Medal – Rd 4 2019 Flatstick Roofing Summer Cup

The February Medal attracted a good field, men and women, and with the greens in top nick and PLENTY of run on the fairways some good scoring was expected.  The round began with a steady southerly breeze but players quickly adapted and it was not until the final few holes that the wind blew up and caused some severe problems, especially on the 18th.  During the round the odd ball bounced wildly and veered off into the rough but most shots stayed true to their line.  There was some new corella damage on two greens but relay not the huge, deep holes of recent years.   However, despite the generally good conditions players found it difficult to play consistent golf and no-one was able to return a score under their handicap.  On a warm, windy afternoon the results were;

February Medalist Men; Keith Hocking – 103/30/73 from Hugh Drummond – 94/20/74 & Mick Nicholls Jnr – 90/15/75

February Medalist Women; Liz Manktelow – 99/21/78

NTPs; 1st Bob Dwyer, 15th – Mal Mottram & 16th – Mick Nicholls Jnr
