The October 2025 Monthly Medal was contested today, with 14 ladies and 19 men taking part. Cooler conditions, a slight breeze, and extra run on the fairways made for tight scoring, while ‘sticky’ greens proved no problem for Leanne Alexander and John Grossy, who both recorded just 28 putts.
Leanne Alexander claimed the ladies title with 64 nett, ahead of Elspeth Scotford on 66. Rounding out the field were Jan Shuwalow and Elaine Philpott (70), Jacqui Wall and Kath Borer (71), Paula McQuat (73) and Robyn Whitham (74).
David Woods took out the men’s honours with 64 nett, with Louis Neethling runner-up on 67. Close behind were John Roser and Steve Mitchell (70), Barry Shuwalow, Gerald Lovell, Barry Mortimer, John Grossy, and John Oates (71), and Gary Scotford (72).
Pin shots went to Leanne Alexander, Heather Luvis, and Elspeth Scotford (A Grade ladies, in-the-hole), Kath Borer, Paula McQuat, and Jan Shuwalow (B Grade ladies), Laurie Dakin (x2) and Allen Roberts (A Grade men), and Wilf Herweg, David Woods, and Louis Neethling (B Grade men). Chip-ins were recorded by Kath Borer, Paula McQuat, Jacqui Wall, and Grossy.
The membership jackpot was not won and will roll over to $40. Robyn Whitham claimed the $50 Monthly Medal draw, while the weekly raffle went to Elaine Philpott.
Next Tuesday, the Whitsunday Vets Competition will be held in Bowen, followed by the AGM.
