Mondon (centre) won the Barclays Mug for the month of February

WHILE the other players shot eagles and birdies, Francis Mondon played 18 holes of steady, consistent golf Saturday February 28 to win the Barclays Mug for the month of February – his third in as many years.

Playing off a handicap of 20, Mondon shot a gross 83 to beat William Weidner, who fired an excellent round of 66 gross – 1 under par.

Third was last month's Mug winner Damian Hoareau with a nett 65.

After the first nine holes, Mondon led the pack, however, the heat forced several players into the shade of the clubhouse leaving him with an all-the-way victory.

Five players shared the two-club prize including Catney Laporte, who holed his second shot on the long 17th hole for a fantastic eagle.

Mondon answered his many critics, showing he can still win a golf tournament despite his unorthodox grip.

The next Barclays Mug will be held on March 27.

Tomorrow, there will be a nine-hole stableford event which will tee off from 2.30 p.m. at the Seychelles Golf Club, Anse Aux Pins. 

On Saturday, a Shot Gun Medalford competition is to be contested. Tee off is at 12.45 p.m.

Those wishing to participate should phone the clubhouse on 376234 by 6 p.m. Thursday March 4 to register.
