After harvest, the Club golf season resumed with the John Alliston Tankard meeting at Stratfordupon-Avon Golf Club, writes Golf Secretary Martin Shaw. Twenty four members and guests had an enjoyable day. Geoff Matthews won the trophy with 42 points, Richard McDonald coming second. Eileen Hogan won Ladies prize and was part of the overall winning team. My thanks to Martin Taylor for helping organise this event. Enville Golf Club, Stourbridge was the venue for our Autumn meeting. Sadly, the numbers were rather disappointing, but those who played enjoyed two challenging courses in delightful late summer sunshine. Andrew Slack and Malcolm McAllister won the individual men’s competitions and Joy Young the ladies on both days.
The Club enters a four person team in the Bath Club Cup played at Woking Golf Club. Our team of Geoff Matthews, Richard Wain, Richard McDonald and Neil Stoddard finished 6th just 3 points outside the prizes – very creditable. Our friends from the Borders joined us for two days of golf at Alwoodley and Seaton Carew in late October. Both courses were in great condition with splendid hospitality arranged by Norman Bagley.
Neil Stoddard has now completed his COVID-interrupted Captaincy and thanks all members and guests who have supported meetings and represented the Club over the past three years. We welcome Charles Wylie as Captain for 2023.
