August Medal

Thirty-three men and five ladies competed for the medals today. Once again the course was in excellent condition and the weather was kind, although a stiff westerly breeze made scoring tricky ... but not for everyone!!

Division 1
The top division was comprehensively won by Sam Boyce with an excellent nett 64 and the lowest gross of the day 70. His round included 3 birdies and an eagle at the 13th. The runners-up spot was decided on countback with Phil Knight just edging out Tim McAuley and Andy Steadman after all three carded nett 69's.

Two's
Just three two's recorded this month - Phil Bye at the 2nd, Phil Knight at the 11th and George Baker at the 2nd.

Pace of Play
The timings were a little disappointing this week as the average round time at 3hr 53 min slipped slightly over our target of 3hr 45 min. At least everyone was round in under 4 hours!! Please make every effort to get round in our target time, it really is appreciated.

Owen Millennium Trophy
After five counting medals of the Owen Millennium Trophy competition, the current leader is Jim Purvis (326) closely followed by John Bye (328) then Phil Bye (337). With just the September and October medals still to count, it could be a tight finish.
