The Avondale Medal (back to top)
17th Annual Tournament - Wednesday 3rd December 2025
12:00pm start
TD Rick Butler
Feb Dec 2025 details:
Once again Rick organised for us to play in Avondale GC's Medley Team Shotgun competition as well as the much more prestigious SMERGS Avondale Medal. We started on holes 8 and 9.
Unlike last year we skipped the Club Competition and
played our event in the normal way.
Handicaps were adjusted by adding 3 shots for those under 20 and 4 for everyone
else. No slope adjustment was required.
The team event was the best 2 scores multiplied to simplify things (Provided you
remembered to do it).
The TD managed to win his own event after a 10 year drought. Alan O’D made
a gallant attempt to retain the Medal but lack of handicap left him in second
place.
Thanks as always to TD Ricky B.
