The July Monthly Medal was the prize on offer in Virginia Golf club this past weekend with playing restricted to Sunday. Despite the reduced time 49 players teed up for our latest contest. 2 players shone out with outstanding rounds of 65 and 66, Gross, tying with Nett 59s, Gavin Tobin and Peter Gill, playing off handicaps of 6 and 7 respectively with Gavin securing his first Monthly Medal on countback. Both players recovered from minor hiccups in their rounds to post two of the rounds of the year. Well done to both and it’s great to see low handicap golfers showing the rest of us how the game should be played.

Well done to team captain Pauline and the 5 lady Virginia Golf Club team on their super win - it’s great to see the Senior Hilton Shield returning to Virginia, a great achievement against tough Mannan Castle opposition.
