As with the men these players will be part of the Calcutta to be auctioned by Bill Trevor in his inimitable style after the presentations of awards to all Championship winners of 2014.
We look foward to a large number of members present at the Awards night on Friday, to begin at 6:00pm. Please bring a plate of food, which can be savoury or sweet.
Men
Members played a single stroke competition on Saturday afternoon. The hot weather obviously deterred some of the members so once again players were grouped into one division. It was Damien Dowling's day as he parred the course to record a gross 69, nett 67! His father Clinton was runner up on 70, but scored an eagle on number 2 and earned himself his first eagle's badge.
Rundowns went to Jack Smith on 71, Craig Reynolds on 73, on a countback from Kev Savage. Vince Kennedy won the B Division approach on 1 & 10, while Damien completed his day by winning the A Division pinshot on 4 & 13.
During the week Peter Steel held on to win the singles Seb's Matchply final, one up over Larry Pershouse which reversed the result of last year. Congratulations Peter.

On the Friday evening before the playoff the Club celebrates Awards Night with presentation to all championship winners during the year, followed by a Calcutta, with auctioneering by the inventive Bill Trevor. The evening begins at 6:00pm with a supper traditionally by members bringing a plate of food - savoury or sweet.
The Club held a 'come and try day' on Sunday with invited non members joining us for a free 3 person ambrose over 12 holes. A small, but competitive field enjoyed the opportunity to play in this 'fun' competition. The good guys won and were gracious winners - the steak sandwiches proved very popular. Next year, even bigger and better!
