Monthly Medal (Men)

During the golf season months of March to October men compete for the Monthly Medal in the traditional monthly Saturday 18 hole stroke play round.

The current winner receives a medal as well as the normal competition prize. Council of Management minutes dated 22/2/1979 also state that 'Approval was given to present a pewter tankard suitably inscribed to the monthly medal winner in lieu of the medal.' It is not knwn when this tradition reverted to the awarding of the medal.

The Monthly Medal is complementary to the Summer Mug event conducted during the summer months of November to February.

Winners of the Monthly Medal qualify to play in the annual Helfers Medal Shield held at the end of the golf season.

Winners of the Monthly Medals are not recorded in the archive database.
