This week we review Finals day and Medal final plus other competitions from last week so we have bucket loads of winners and scores to report on. And of course next week, the new 4th hole comes into play on Monday with new scorecards and much more. Keep an eye out for the Greens Committee bulletins that will be arriving in your inbox over the next few days.
For your information, I have contacted the following seven GPS companies: Garmin, Bushnell, Skycaddie, Motocaddy, Powakaddy, Shotscope and GolfBuddy to tell them about the upcoming course changes. Some have come back to me and some haven’t. Apparently it can take up to four weeks for the changes to go live. I will do my best to keep on top of this.
Medal Final – Captains Cup 2022
It was a nett 67 log jam at the top on Saturday for the men’s Medal Final. John Kennedy won the three way card play off, Adam Laitt finished second whilst Andrew Fishwick was knocked back into third place.
