Presentation evening at Gymkhana

It was a hot & sticky evening of fun & frivolity under the ancient raintree at Gymkhana. Mr B got the proceedings going by generously passing around the Akvavit & Gammel Dansk, Scandanavian firewater which would put hairs on anyones chest!

After having the dinner, it was time for the awards & speeches.
Congratulations were given to all those who took part & for making the event the success it was. This was our biggest annual tournament & the feeling is that the club is going from strength to strength. Thanks were given to Guy for his help with posting photo's & Malcolm for organising the Royal booking.
In keeping with the clubs tradition of 1 player only being eligible for 1 trophy. Here are the results.

The 2009 Club champion was Guy Merrett who carded net 216. Off a low handicap, which can be very unforgiving this was no mean feat.

Net runner up with 218 was Malcolm Tetley, it really did go right to the wire.

Best gross was Mr B.

Stableford A grade, was a tie between Gary Burke & Kieran Savage with 99pts. Taking it then over 4 rounds, Gary was victorious with 130pts.

B grade Sherman Miles 103pts.

C grade keeping it in the family Phyllis Miles 102pts.

A new award was bestowed upon our very own Les Harvey with the highest 3 net cards. I won't divulge the total, or he may want a shot back! But the "gold" medal did look particularly attractive around his neck.

Nearest the pins.
Lanna: Guy & David Stephens
Mae Jo: Christian & Sherman
Highland's: Scott & Malcolm
Royal: Nigel & Ron Hill

Derek from Highland's very generously donated, 2 rounds of golf. 1 was awarded to club champion Guy. The other was won by Jack Cooper in a special draw.

Les thanked Christian & Scott for their work in organising the tournament & for everything they'd done during what could have been a difficult year. Our speech was entirely unrehearsed, honest. But bookings are being taken for barmitzvah's, stag parties, weddings, etc!

Finally it was terrific to see so many people enjoying themselves & it really is a lovely venue for such an evening.
