Hadrian League Troldahl Cup - 27 August
This year, the tournament was held at Wallsend Golf Club. For those that don't know, this competition asks clubs to enter two players each to compete for a gross and a net trophy.
Clubs can select anyone, and on any basis, they like but the idea is to use at least one place for a non-team member who has say done much to support the team during the season. Some clubs run competitions for the places, some select a pair of League players and so on.
In our case, we selected Danny Shevill and Luke Anderson. Danny for his great contribution to the points in both Leagues and Luke for his tremendous support as a caddy and spectator throughout the season. For Luke, it was also an opportunity to experience representing his Club in a senior League competition.
Wallsend was not in its best condition on the day and it was also quite windy and the CSS of 72 reflected the difficulty. Luke did have a bit of a hard time as did many of the competitors, especially those not of a Category 1 standard.
Danny did do well however and shot 71 to finish second to Simon Lee's very good 68. At least Danny got a 0.1 reduction following a long wrangle over the Rules, which we quite rightly won.
So, still no League trophies for Prudhoe this year. We've been close on a few occasions and still have the District League Players' Championship to look forward to at Tyneside on 24 September where we have a good chance to win the individual gross and team trophies.
