APRIL MEDAL
A field of 128 competitors enjoyed a superbly presented golf course played in a stiff breeze in the 2nd of this year's monthly medals.
Division 1
In a very closely contested division Graham Bells' nett 71 gave him a 1 shot winning margin over Tim Unwin, David Giddings and the ever stylish Stuart Grierson tied in 2nd spot on nett 72. Paul McMullen claimed best gross once again with a round of 74.
Division 2
New member Rob Hynes claimed division 2 with an excellent score of nett 69 with ever steady Stan Chapman in 2nd place on nett 71 and Jim Drury showing a welcome return to form with a nett 72 to claim 3rd prize.
Division 3
Score of the day went to Peter Macey whose nett 65 not only claimed 1st prize in division 3 but also earned him the St.Johns Ambulance winner's prize and entry to the next qualifying round. The tuition Peter has invested in is now really starting to pay dividends! Josh Taylor took 2nd place with nett 72 with a 3-way tie for 3rd place featuring Paul Taylor, Bob Pippet and Kevin Smith on nett 73.
On Monday 14th April we staged an event on the new academy where existing junior golfers invited their non-golfing friends to try the game whilst receiving some tuition. This event was organised by Vice-Captain Howard Thomson and proved very popular with 18 young golfers attending. Thanks to everyone who took part.
Thursday 24th April - CALLAWAY DEMO DAY - 2.00pm-6.00pm. Saturday 10th/Sunday 11th May - Wiltshire Academy - The range will be very busy this weekend.
