John Mac-back to winning ways
Bang Pra
In the last two months that John McDonald has been playing his golf with the Bunker Boys he’s hardly had a look in but that all changed today.
Playing a Medal round with the course dry and hard and the putting surfaces always a challenge John had the best round of the day.
Winning the A Flight with a four under par 68, a massive seven shots ahead of runner up Tony Scambler, with Tony Robbins a further shot behind in third place.
Winning two near pin prizes as well John was back with a bang!
With the golfer of the month title being decided on this the last game of the month, “Skinny” Newton still had a chance to win it. But although he won the B Flight with a one under par round it wasn’t enough to catch Tony Scambler who’s second place in the A Flight made him February’s golfer of the month.
PJ Redmond came second in the B Flight and Geoff Hart took third.
