The Outback Golf Bar
Friday, Nov. 18, Green Valley – Medal
Another good crowd turned up for our monthly medal sponsored by Broadgate Securities, EuroPVC and Gecko Properties. We are gaining momentum with the series and with some additional sponsors approaching us it means that the winner of the series, played in September 2017, will be presented with an all expense paid trip on the following year’s Hua Hin trip in March, valued at THB 20,000.
Back to the results for this month and with the greens and condition of Green Valley being great there weren’t any excuses.
In 5th place, Peter Montanari beat his handicap and scored a great net 70, losing on count back to Steve Plant. Bruce Mcadam sneaked into 3rd place with a great net 69, returning to form after a slump which saw his handicap climb to astronomical levels! At the top, things had to be decided on a count back over the last 6 holes, but in the end Tony Oakes just edged out Stephen Watkins for the win with an awesome net 68. Tony was also the gross play winner with 80, making this a double win on an otherwise dreary day for lower handicappers.
With this win, Tony joins Sugar Ray Handford and Mick Beresford as the other finalists thus far to compete in our grand final.
There were three ‘2’s today, coming from Steve Plant, Wayne Cottrell and Andre Coetzee.
The next monthly medal will be played at Green Valley on 23 December.
