The Covid Lockdown has caused some interruption to our scheduled events, including further delaying our Club Championships. It did not, however, slow down our Monthly Medal Sponsor Paddy Walsh from Paddy Walsh Painting – who has brushed past the opposition to take the lead in the 2021 Atkinsons Air Order of Merit.

The Atkinsons Air Order of Merit is a points-based competition run over all Single competitions held on Saturday between the start of February and the December Monthly Medal in a Fedex Cup style format, where Monthly Medals and Club Championship rounds are worth more points than a regular Stableford etc. This event offers a great opportunity for those that play consistent golf, week-in, week-out. To illustrate this point, last year’s winner Garry Williamsz won the maximum points just once across the 10-month competition.
We are extremely grateful to MCGC Corporate Member Craig Atkinson from Atkinsons Air for his support of this event.
