LAST week the rain continued last week, and golfers prayed Cyclone Gabbi did not affect play in last Saturday’s Custom Build Constructions Greens Keeper Revenge.

A huge thank you to the grounds crew for getting the course mowed in preparation for last weekend’s golf.

On February 4, a good field braved hot and humid conditions to play in the Innisfail Skip Bin Monthly Medal.

By the look of the prize run down, one needed to play in the morning to get a good shot at the tittle, with nine out of the top 10 winners in the morning tee times.

Early on, Paul Tattam was in the running with another solid round of 67 nett, after winning January’s Monthly Medal, however it was short lived.

Jack Johnston played a great back nine to be three under his handicap to get through on a countback and Andrew Ghietti shooting another solid round for 68 nett.

Johnston is in the running for the Medal of Medals in June.

Results

1st: Jack Johnston 67 Nett c/b

2nd: Paul Tattam 67 Nett

3rd: Andrew Ghietti 68 Nett c/b
