Monthly medal madness
The Springs Country Club hosted its Monthly Medal golf competition on Saturday.
Tee-off time was set at 7am for the monthly club members’ competition. The aim of the monthly competition is to accumulate a score on the premise that the game is played until the golf ball lands in the hole.
The competition takes place on the first full weekend of every month, throughout the year.
Monthly medal is played in three divisions and each division is handicap based.
“The competition is open to both men and women, with final scores being calculated on the nett at the end of the game,” says Marlene Nel of the country club.
The results for the men’s competition are as follows, and are reflected per division played:
