Mike Groves led a strong field to claim the overall winning prize of the Member’s Monthly Medal at Al Badia Golf Club.
With the course playing very hard due to strong winds, he managed to have a solid round with a respectable nett 72. Grove’s round took shape on the back nine with a gross 39 and playing a 7 hole stretch in one under par.
Division A winner was Scott Walton finished with a nett 73. Walton has been playing some good golf of late and saw his efforts pay off. He also won the nearest the pin prize on the 11th hole. Colin Gow on the other hand, only just missed out on a top spot in this division with a nett 74. Gow had a much better back nine to bring himself into contention making 5 gross pars.
Sharon Moore reigned in the Division B after carding nett 72 and she only just missed out the overall winner on count back. Sharon had a good front nine paring both the par 3’s and the back nine was even better giving her Division B. Joung Kim Worrall settled as a runner up in Division B with nett 73. Worrall had two nines of 45 giving her a gross 90 which included a birdie on the tough 3rdhole.
In addition to the winner’s circle, Suad Ghalib won the longest drive on the 4th hole.
