The chill of winter has just visited Oberon, Saturday was a particularly cold day on the golf course. There was a small field of the keenest of our golfers on Saturday, playing a stroke round for the monthly medal. There was a chilly wind that took the edge of the wonderful surroundings. Not many of the players played to their handicap.
Chris Kalos was the closest and he was the A grade winner with 82/72. Chris won the A grade monthly medal and scratch ball. The runner up was Neil Whalan 86/74. Jake Ribbons was the B grade winner taking the monthly medal and scratch ball with a solid round of 93/75. Peter Griffiths was the runner up with a round of 98/77. Blake Miller won the A grade putting with 31 putts and Peter Ryan won the B grade putting with just 28 putts. Balls went to Barry Lang, Phil Cummings, Laurie Murphy, and Irene Bishop.

Next Saturday will be a Stableford event including a 4BBB multiplier. That is in the 4BBB event you will multiply the partner's result with your result. Don't have a miss.
On a sadder note Eric, our president is not well, and has spent a few days in the hospital and will need a week or two to recover.
