Club Championship - 2 July
On one of the hottest days of the year, 55 competitors turned out to play 36 holes turning the event into a test of endurance and fitness, as well as golf!
After the first round, the leaders were former winner Neil Graham (67), multiple winner Shaun Philipson (68), James Curry (69) and Denny Ward (69).
Denny took the early clubhouse lead with a fine 72 for 141 but then Neil came in with a great 68 to set a really tough 4 under par target of 135.
Shaun playing in the last group with James and defending champion, Kevin Robson, faded to a 73 for 141 and joint second in the clubhouse with Denny.
But James, with a round that included 8 birdies, came in with a superb 63 for a 6 under par 132 to take the title and the claret jug for the first time.
Neil had the consolation of taking the Index Trophy for the best net total of 133 narrowly beating John 'Ando' Anderson who shot 70 and 64 for 134. Denny Ward, with 66 and 69 for 135 was a close third.
Congratulations to our new club champion James and to all the competitors, bar two, for battling through the near 90 degree sunshine. And there were hardly any no returns either!
Finally, thanks to Gordon Garratt for, once again, looking after the day virtually single handed and to the greens and clubhouse staff for their valuable contribution.
