Monthly Medals Bring Out the Best at Proserpine Golf Club

The competition this July at Proserpine Golf Club is heating up as members edge closer to the club's Open Championships and the annual Wintersun events.

Tuesday's Stableford kicked off another busy week, with Harry Russell leading the men's field on 38 points, just one ahead of Levi Holmes. Sherri Meade continued her consistent form to top the ladies' competition with 37 points, while Sally Little claimed nearest-to-the-pin honours on the 13th.

Many of the club's veteran golfers travelled to Bowen later in the week to contest the Whitsunday Group Stableford, where a full field enjoyed the beautifully presented coastal course.

Back at Proserpine, Wednesday's ladies' Monthly Medal, sponsored by Airllywood, belonged to Elspeth Scotford, whose nett 73 secured victory from Robyn Whitham, with Di Chard taking third on countback.

The July Monthly Medal continued on Thursday for the men, where Gary Scotford produced an excellent nett 68 to win A Grade ahead of Ben Smith. Tommy Gallagher claimed B Grade after edging Peter Lindsay on countback following matching rounds of 70 nett.

Saturday's Monthly Medal, proudly sponsored by the Metropole Hotel, produced some outstanding golf. Paul Skinner returned the best score of the day with a superb 67 nett to take overall honours, while Tony Goss, Peter Faust and Tim Walton each topped their respective grades. Sidonie Fleet won the ladies' division on countback after finishing tied on 71 nett.

Friday's nine-hole competition saw Brent Franke finish on top with 18 points, while Sunday's KJC Diesel-sponsored Monthly Medal wrapped up the week in style. Blake Lovelock fired an impressive 66 nett to secure victory, finishing one stroke clear of Ireneusz Gruszczynski, with Scott Mason rounding out the podium.

With championship season fast approaching, the quality of scoring continues to suggest Proserpine golfers are finding their best form at just the right time.
