Monthly Medal
Ladies
The combination of high temperature and humidity did nothing to help the ladies’ scoring and another low turnout invoked the ‘small field’ handicapping adjustment. This had the effect of increasing the CSS to 73, resulting in handicap adjustments for all bar the winner and runner-up.
Fiona Coombe continued her good run of form to win the medal with a net 75. Lia Donath took second spot with a net 77, beating Sheena Harrington courtesy of a better back nine. Results…
Men

Bontor Trophy
The annual men v ladies match – the Bontor – was held this weekend. As usual the conditions would be a major factor with the lush grass not giving the ladies their usual advantage of a running ball at this time of year. However, the strong winds looked like compensating, affecting the men’s higher shots more than the ladies and bringing the unusually dense rough into play.
Thirteen ladies suspiciously disappeared into the portacabin and some of us, knowing a little about covens, were pleasantly surprised to be greeted instead by the Sioux Smith tribe in full war paint. Most of us, having seen ladies put make-up on before, were not as intimidated by this display as the ladies had expected but hoped for Apache display from them.
Right from the first match on the first tepee, the match was hard fought and could have gone either way at any time. In a tense finish the men took the necessary scalp to win 7 to 6 and had a chance to look at the trophy for the first time in three years. Results…
We look forward to the ladies giving their all to win it back next year and the men are eager to supply suggestions as to suitable costumes most likely to distract us in 2013.
