Moore in Golf Medal Win

ROB Moore and Steve Benson had the two standout rounds in the Gloucester Golf Club’s outing on Saturday 30 August, but it was Rob Moore who took home the August Monthly Medal.

The event was an Individual Stableford sponsored by the Arkwood Family and played in sunny windy conditions with the course still showing signs of the wet weather of recent weeks and months.

The winner in A grade was Jamie Andrews with 33 points with Steve Macdonald, 31, in the runner up position. In B grade: Rob Moore’s 38 was best of the day and good for the win in the grade and the August Monthly Medal; Trevor Sharp’s 35 was next in that grade. In C grade the top score went to Steve Benson with his 37 and he was followed by Dave Robbins 33 in the runner up spot. Balls were won by Rob Moore 38, Steve Benson 37, Trevor Sharp 35, Brendon Murray 34, and by Jamie Andrews, Mitch Andrews and Dave Robbins all scoring 33.

The Nearest-to-the-Pin at the 4th and 13th holes was won by Steve Macdonald in A grade and Dave Saunders in B grade; they finished 806 cm and 507 cm from the hole, respectively. Only A and C grades were represented at the 6th and 15th holes with the top shots in those grades going to Jamie Andrews, 164 cm, and Steve Benson, 540 cm.

The long drives at the 8th and 17th holes in the three grades were won by Jamie Andrews, Rob Moore and Mark Gardner.

The Super Sevens for the week ending Friday 29 August was won by Trevor Sharp with 17 points. He was followed by four ball winners with 14 points: Ken Kelly, Dave Mann, Wayne Maddalena and Mark Stone with the final ball won on a count back by Evelyn Blanch, 13.

This coming Saturday, 6 September, the Gloucester Club will be playing the third and final round of the Men’s Championship, an Individual Stroke event sponsored by the Arkwood family. The following Saturday there will be an Individual Stableford sponsored by The Two Garries.
