IT WAS another hot steamy day at the Gloucester Golf Course on Saturday 7 March with Liam Wamsley a clear winner for the March Medal.
The event was an Individual Stroke sponsored by Arkwood Organic Recycling with the Medal going to the best net score across the field. This honour went to C grade player Liam Walmsley with a net score of 68 three strokes ahead of the field. Unsurprisingly, Liam also had the best net score in C grade although the best gross score in the grade went to Paul Garland for his 97. In A grade Ben Veitch had the top net score of 73, a score which also won him the annual Mug of Mugs, a playoff for those golfers who won Medals in 2025. Paul Blanch’s gross score of 75 was the best in A grade. In B grade the top net score went on a count back to Clint Churchyard for his 71. The top gross score in the grade was Geoff Reynolds’ 90.
Dale Rabbett turned in the top net and gross score among the women in the field with her 71 and 91, respectively.
Balls were won by Liam Wamsley 68, Dale Rabbett, Clint Churchyard and Geoff Reynolds 71, Peter Sate and Ben Veitch 73, Chris Murray and Paul Garland 74 and Chris Steele and Steve MacDonald 75.
