End of the Summer - it's Official

It's official - summer is over. The long awaited and delayed completion of the summer golf programme has been completed. The Ladies section completed their programme on Saturday, 8th November some 4 weeks late and the Men's programme completed on the Sunday, 6 weeks late. The competitions were played in very wet, almost marsh type conditions, with the water and mud soaking up trouser legs to mid calf height. Coupled with some freezing rain on the Sunday morning, it was no surprise that there were 21 no returns as players failed to find lost balls and declined the option of returning to the tee.


The Men's results included a win for Mac Murphy with a nett 69, but the Handicap Trophy was won by Jon Christie with a 73. The Junior trophies went to Thomas Brooks (nett) and Daniel Deacon (gross). The points awarded for the placings also settled the winner of the Sid Hall Trophy which is awarded to the most consistent player across the season. The winner was Ian Davidson who will get his name engraved on the cigarette box (not very PC) and also the honours board in the Club House ... well done Ian.
