The Gold medals were contested between those who had won monthly medals during 2019 in A, B and C grades.
The winner of the A grade gold medal was Frank Mantle, C grade went to Steve Jennings while the B grade medal will be played off next month between Don Lovett and Carlos Garibotto.
The February monthly medals were also hotly contested with the Lithgow course playing at its very longest.
It was not surprising that the best nett score came out of A grade with the big hitting Damien Marjoram returning a brilliant 67 nett in the tough conditions.
With his good score Marjoram secured the A grade medal.Runner up on 69 nett was another power player in Dave Thompson.
The best scratch score was registered by the consistent Andrew Burton with a two under par 70.
The B grade best nett score went to Rod Clarke who counted out young Tallan Egan.Both finished with 71 nett and will play off for the February medal next month.
Runner up Egan was a bit unlucky considering he lost his ball on the 10th and 11th holes.
The best scratch score in B grade was returned by Jeff Geddes with a 82.
The C grade medal and best nett score went to Steve Jennings when he carded a 69 nett.
Runner up was Leo Murnane on 72 nett and the best scratch score was returned by Lleyton Guest with a 92 on a countback.
