Warren cashes in to lift June Medal

Saturday’s June medal saw well over 200 golfers enjoy the glorious summer weather and will have left some players wondering whether they have begun to hit form at just the right time, or have they peaked a little too soon.

The winner was honorary treasurer Warren McCleary with a nett 66 off 13. This was Warren’s first victory of the year and he will be very pleased with his birdie at the last which promoted him to the top from a place among the also rans. He took the Medal after a nett 33 on the back nine.

The experienced Kenny Hanna also had a nett 66, off 14, and he took the runners-up spot. After dropping just 3 shots on the front 9, he contrived to drop a further 7 on the way home for a nett 35 back 9.

David Moore won the April Medal and came close to a nice double when he finished third with a nett 67 off 12. His impressive back 9 of 39 shots gave him the edge over Andrew Cummins who came 4th with a nett 67 off 5. Andrew had birdies at 3, 15 and 17, but it was his double bogey at 16 which ultimately denied him outright victory in the competition. Having finished 4th in the May Medal as well, no doubt he will be hoping for a change of luck in the near future.

The gross prize went to David Sutton who went round in just 67 shots to record the day’s only sub par round. His only bogey came at 11, while he had birdies at 8, 10, 15 and 18.

The low section went to Tony Gallery with a nett 68 off 11. He had been involved in a duel with playing partner Michael McMahon who also returned a nett 68, off 12. Their back 9s contrasted sharply as Tony came home in just 3 over, while Michael managed to drop 7 shots over the same stretch.
