After what had felt like weeks of relentless wind and gusts, 92 members were treated to a thoroughly pleasant day’s golf on Saturday. Sunny skies and a light breeze made for ideal scoring conditions across The Mill & The Garden, and the field took full advantage with some excellent performances throughout.

Nick Keher claimed the Monthly Medal title in impressive fashion, carding a net 68 to finish four under par and win by a clear shot. It was a commanding performance on a day when conditions finally allowed members to play their natural game.

Tony Fan finished one back on net 69 to take second place, with Darragh Sidhu securing third on net 71 after countback separated him from three other members who also finished at one under par. Peter Harrison, Tim Green and Gordon Lyall all matched that score, with Harrison on a back nine of 36.5, Green on 36 and Lyall on 35 tying for fourth.

Low Gross

Darragh Sidhu produced a superb card scoring an even par gross 72, the only player in the field to match the card on the day. Tony Fan was one stroke back in second on 73, with Tim Green third on 77. A fine day for both Sidhu and Fan, each picking up recognition in multiple categories.
