It was a close contest for the Monthly Medal last Saturday. Congratulations go to Bob Naismith who took out the medal with a magnificent nett 66. Bob had a solid front nine, making the turn nett 2 under, then making par on the first three holes of the back nine. It came down to the last hole which Bob managed a par, giving him the medal on count back.
