Battling for Dunaverty’s twice postponed January medal

Dunaverty Golf Club’s twice postponed January medal finally got underway on a cold, blustery and sometimes wet day last Saturday.

Conditions pegged scores at a low end and reduced the field of players.

Alan Goddard, in company with the Coffield brothers, made a fine start on the front nine, reaching the turn in 39 strokes - one ahead of Robert Coffield then proceeded to cover the inward half in 40 strokes.

Lee Mathieson recorded the best scratch score with 35 going out and 39 coming back for a 74.

All credit to 14-year-old Jake MacMillan who had an excellent front nine of 38 but faltered a bit on the way in.

‘As can be seen from the results, the weather played a big part in curtailing the scores,’ said a club spokesperson, ‘but well done to all who played.’

Results: 1 Alan Goddard 79-14=65, 2 Malcolm Ronald 83-13=70, 3 Robert Coffield 81-10=71 (bih), 4 Don Hardman 83-12=71, 5 Neil Brodie 80-8=72 (bih), 6 Lee Mathieson 74-2=72, 7 Jake MacMillan 86-14=72.

Scratch: 1 Lee Mathieson 74, 2 Neil Brodie 80, 3 Robert Coffield 81.
