    Default Monthly Medal this weekend.

    OzGolfers

    With this weekend being Easter, has your club moved the Monthly medal?
    I was asked on the weekend whether I thought it should be moved due to the holidays. I thought it should stay on as planned. What do you all think?

    Good to hear I was right sticking to my guns, some blokes wanted it moved due to the fact that they were going away for holidays.

    If it was that big a deal, they should have scheduled their holidays around the MM.

    Ours has been moved to the following weekend (14th). As for my thoughts on the matter.... whatever.

    Ours has been moved to the following weekend. Easter has a long-standing 36 hole event over the Saturday and Monday, where the players will play from the plates anyway.

    I think Monthly medals are highly over-rated in their importance. After all, they happen every month.

    Otherwise when the Match Programme was drawn up at the start of the season they knew it was going to be Easter, so why the sudden controversy.

    Point to the book - its locked in.

    Jim brings up a good point too. In Casino there's an Easter weekend event too, with a comp each day from Friday to Monday I think.

    It's a good idea to move the Medal weekend to ensure that you get the largest possible number of starters for the signature monthly event. Grant - sounds like people at your club are opportunists whose only chance of winning a medal are when the good players go AWOL.

    Blake - Sydney is a lovely place. We just like to go out of town every now and then to see how the other half live.
