Just when it seemed the wet weather had passed, the rain returned—putting a damper on Proserpine Golf Club’s centenary celebrations. Thankfully, conditions eased by Tuesday, allowing the full course to reopen in time for the May Monthly Medal, which saw a strong field of 29 players take part.
Among the standout performers was Kath Borer, who was elated to claim the ladies' title after working hard to regain her form following a break from the game. In the men’s division, Nick Apruzzese impressed with a superb round of 67 nett, earning him top honours for the day.
