December Medal and Stableford

Well done, once again, to John Beeden. He really should think about turning pro with the number of sub-par rounds he is shooting. He won the December Medal with a net 66 and sees his handicap go down to just 2. Les Davey won the December Stableford by 5 shots with 43 points from Louis Lovell.
