The postponed March medal was finally played today in totally different conditions to last week. Last week we had flooded greens and soaking wet competitors - this week, the conditions were perfect on a lovely Spring day for the first stroke play medal of the year.
Division 1
The players in the top division took full advantage of the conditions today. This month's winner with a superb nett 66 (gross 69) was Max Nicholls. The unlucky runner-up was Roger Tillett with an excellent nett 67. Third place went to Jack Unsworth who just beat Chris Richardson on count-back after both carded nett 72's.

Is it really worth running a Ladies Medal?

DeleteIt's true the ladies are unfortunately in a minority in terms of numbers at the club and sometimes circumstances dictate that there are very few ladies in their medal. Normally, there are a regular 7 or 8 ladies who play the medals, But I personally don't think a low turn out for one or two medals a year is a valid reason to do away with them. Let's try and encourage more of our ladies to participate, not punish the ones who regularly turn out to play.
