Many thanks to Richard Russell (white wines) and Graham Guy (red wines) who provided the prizes for the monthly medal stroke competitions during 2025. The winners were as follows:

April: Rolfe Heldt on the Old Course on Friday 4 April 2025 with a gross 82, net 73 from John Campbell & Alan Smith on 75. Rolfe had the best gross and the best 9 of 35 net on the first nine.
May: Tony Fisk on the Old Course on Monday 26 May 2025 with a gross 82, net 75 from Stephen Thomas 84/76 & Ric Haddleton 101/78. Tony had the best gross.
June: Congratulations to captain Tom McClain for winning the June monthly medal on the Old Course on Monday 9 June 2025 with a best gross of 85 (net 73), winning a bottle of white wine donated by Richard Russell. The course was in beautiful condition and we had perfect autumn weather with little wind, so it must have been the chilly start that led many of us to score 50 or more on the first nine when we would have expected to score less than that. Tom’s 42 gross for the first nine was outstanding considering the remaining scores, and he had the overall best gross of 85. Second place went to Steve Huckle, gross 95, net 74, and third to Peter Warschauer gross 96, net 75.
July: Congratulations to Tony Fisk who starred in rough and windy conditions on the Old Course on Monday 7 July to win a bottle of white wine kindly donated by Richard Russell. Tony’s gross of 78 is an outstanding score in the conditions and his net of 72 means he played to his handicap of 6 despite wind and rain.
