General Club Noticeboard

Congratulations on qualifying for one of our most prestigious competitions, the Farmer & Stockbreeder Cup, qualifiers are normally drawn from the April to September Monthly Medals, but in this somewhat strange year I’ve used the 6 non trophy Medal competitions that have been played since we restarted golf. The best 5 gross scores & ties, along with the best 15 nett scores & ties from those competitions qualify to play.

If you are unable to play please let me know quickly as your withdrawal may allow other players to enter if we dip below the best 5 gross & best 15 nett entries.

A strong field of 45 players took part in the annual end of season bash for the A, B and Social teams. The day was enjoyed by all on a breezy yet warm end of summers day, and was an opportunity for new members interested in getting involved in team golf to meet existing members. After the golf, all players enjoyed a socially distanced BBQ organised by Cris, Lis and their staff. The format of the competition was a non QC individual stableford. There were 3 separate categories split in handicap order.

Ninety seven entries spread across the 3 pieces of silverware comprising the Hamilton (0-10), Middleman (11-15) & Bland (16-28) Cups, the course was in fantastic condition and with reasonably calm weather some great scores were recorded.

We don't award an overall winner in this competition, but Adam Footitt's gross 66 playing off a handicap of 1 to win the Hamilton Cup was the best score of the day and means that he is now a scratch player, well done Adam that's a great achievement. Tom Younghusband continues his excellent form with a nett 67 to win the Middleman Cup, meriting another General Play reduction, his 2nd in 2 weeks, whilst George McCartney won the Bland Cup with his fine nett 66.

Winning scores :-

• Hamilton Cup (33 players)
• 1st place nett  :  Adam Footitt  66 - 1  =  65
