The Spring Medal

The Spring Medal Championship is one of the most demanding tournaments of the year. Players compete over 36 holes of stroke play in this 2-week event to claim victory. While the field is flighted, the champion can come from any flight to win the top prize. The greens were fast this week and it took a steady putter to get the job done. This year Ray Geisick earned top honors turning in a 2-round net 136. Well done Ray! Other scores of note include Jay Karafa 140, Jim Geesman and Jeff Stanga each finishing with a net 141 and Gary Lovell came in with a 146.
