LAST Saturday, 4 October, Hayden Cornall won the Gloucester Golf Club’s October Monthly Medal, an Individual Stroke event sponsored by the Arkwood Family.
It a big field marked by a large contingent of visitors no doubt taking advantage of the school holidays to combine family visits with golf on one of the best nine-hole courses in the country.
Indeed, it was visitor Isaac Dean with the best net score, 66, who was unable to claim the Medal as the terms of the competition limit the Medal to members.
The winner of the Monthly Medal was Hayden Cornall with a net score of 68.
In A grade the best net score was turned in by Trent Mollar, 69, following a handy gross score of 73, again, the best in his grade. Craig Bonney won the net and gross trophies in B grade with his 70 and 90 respectively. In C grade Isaac Dean’s net 66 was best with Dave Mann, 93, winning the trophy for the best gross score in the grade.
Balls were won by Isaac Dean 66, Hayden Cornall, Hayden Waller and Michael Albertini 68, Trent Mollar 69, Dave Mann 70, Stacey Groves and Bret Mollar 71, and Craig Bonney, Chris Gavin, Mark Stone and David Maddalena 72.
The Nearest-to-the-Pin trophies at the 4th and 13th holes were won by Trent Mollar in A grade, Brendon Murray in B grade and Hayden Cornall in C grade. They finished 628 cm, 315 cm and 430 cm from the hole respectively. At the 6th and 15th holes the three grades were represented by Trent Mollar 147 cm, Mark Stone 259 cm and Paul Griffiths 330 cm.
The long drives finishing on the fairway at the 8th and 17th holes were won by Jamie Andrews, Ryan Yates and Michael Albertini.
The winner of the Super Sevens for the week ending Friday 3 October was Wayne Maddalena with 20 Stableford points. Balls were won by Rob Moore 18, Dave Mann, 16, Wayne Maddalena 15 and Mark Stone, Ken Kelly and Bill Murray 14.
