Russ continued his fine form, with a comfortable win in the July Medal. The day started off in dramatic style with nine pars and two birdies recorded over the first four holes. Tony and Con both chipped in for birdie in spectacular style on the second and fourth holes respectively. However, it was Dave who held a slender lead at this stage. Russ edged alongside him on the next, but faded dramatically with a ten on the sixth. Con and Tony were level in their game and Geoff was one up on Tom. Mike pulled a hole back on Gavin, after having gone three down after three.
A lost ball for Mike lead towards an eight on the next, putting him back to three down, but he started to fight back at thhis stage and a par on ten got him to within one hole of Gavin. Tony took the lead on seven, in his game and Geoff was piling on the pressure against Tom, going three up at ten. Without the pressure of matchplay, Dave and Russell battled for the medal. Dave pitched a perfect shot up on to the elevated tenth green and into the hole for a great birdie, with Con's par making them tied for the lead. Russ and Geoff were one behind, making it a four-horse race with eight to go.
The long par three eleventh took its toll and only Dave managed bogie. Geoff's seven gave Tom some hope. The amusing twelfth, was once again ....er ... amusing, as Tony managed to land on the green and take five more shots to get down. As with the eighth, he misread the slope and his second putt slid off the green and down the hill. On the plus side, he managed to get back on the green in one, unlike the other hole, which took three efforts. Con hit a nasty seven on the next, putting him out of contention. It now looked like Russ and Dave with five holes to go and two in it. However, in the matches.. Geoff was now down to one hole with the other two games level. Con took the next three holes to see off Tony. Mike took three out of four to win his match, but Tom leveled after fourteen before took fifteen and seventeen to win that match. Dave cut Russ's lead to one on fifteen and the medal remained that way until the last. A couple of sixes on the last and Russ's handicap gave him a nice two-stroke victory.
Next week: official times 6:58 - 7:07. If all turn up, we need to get there early to sneak in the extra man:
Alan v Geoff • Mike - Tom v Tony • Russ - Dave v Con • Gavin
