February Medal — A strong field took to the Bude links in spring like weather for the monthly medal, writes Barry Sykes.

Scoring was steady with the majority of the field shooting 71 plus. Two players however found the conditions to their liking with young Jack Wellington going crazy and returning a gross 73 off his 7 handicap. It was noted that on the Friday afternoon Denise (Jack's mum) took him out for 11 holes to tune up his stroke action!!.

He was closely followed by the injured golfer who required a buggy – Paul Walton with a gross 75 nett 69.
