Mens Tournaments - Season 2007-2008

Reay Medal - 28 May 07
Young Hugh wins by narrow margin

Hugh Tunn

The fixture had to be moved to bank Holiday Monday to accommodate the re-arranged Rotary Club Open. The weather was poor and the CSS of 72 showed how tough the course was playing. It was unusual to find the 16^th the hardest hole and the 13^th ranked as the easiest and disappointing to find only three birdies.

Donald Mowat (Mojo) and Grant Maxwell both made birdie on the 13^th but neither were able to challenge for the Medal. Sandy Chisholm had the only other birdie with a two at the short 5^th hole. Joe Wilson had the lowest gross of the day with an 84 and figures of 84-11-73.

Three players shared third spot with nett 73's and after the countback was applied it was Danny O'Hagan on 89-16-73 who secured third place edging out Joe Wilson 84-11-73 and Kenny Farmer 88-15-73. There was a battle for the medal with scores tied on nett 69 and again the countback was applied. Coming close was Tim Hawes 90-21-69 for his par round losing out by the narrowest of margins to young Hugh Tunn a very promising young teenager also with figures of 90-21-69 who had the better back nine.
