The annual grand challenge match play competition between John Tubb's team and the Captain Gavin Adams' team took place today Saturday 12th May. After 11 very hard fought matches Gavin’s team otherwise known as The Distinguishables emerged as the winners by 7.5 matches to 3.5 over John’s team aka The Incorruptibles. The best performance on the day came from Alan Caldicott and Dave MacKenzie with a fine 5&4 win so the individual spoils went to them. In the Principals head to head match up, John Tubb and Neil Terry beat Captain Gavin Adams and Neil Martin 2up so once again the individual spoils went to The Incorruptibles, but it was the Captain who walked off with the team win and the Glenfiddich Putter. The Captain's team are almost making a habit of winning this match and Dean Herritty, who was today announced as Vice Captain and Captain elect, will no doubt want to continue in that vein in 2019. John Tubb will of course want to reverse the trend so all to play for in 2019.
Next Friday and Saturday is the Mike Jefferson Memorial Trophy which as a bogey competition plays to match play rules against the course. Those who played today are well prepared for this individual event but all members should sign up and play in memory of Mike, a founder member and our very own Mr Golf.
