Autumn Stableford Trophy Oct 22 2024

Winner Ian Riches is presented with the Trophy by Vice Captain Tony Lloyd


 The Autumn Stableford Trophy - the last of our Golfer of the Year qualifiers - took place  on the Carthagena course under blue skies and amid balmy autumn weather.

Despite the benign conditions the scores by most of the 88 players were on the low side, with only 10 managing 36 points or more. 

The winner, on 41 points, was Ian Riches who pipped Chris Roy, with 40 points, into second place. In third place, on 39 points, was Michael Newstead.

The result also decided the Golfer of the Year Competition with Graham Gadsden emerging victorious on 68 points. He is closely followed by Peter Imray (66), Cav Kendall (59), Chris Roy (56), Rob Bage (53) and Stephen Foster (52).

£10 raffle prizes were won by Stephen Foster, Kevin Barbour, Peter Roberts and Nick Seeley. The money will be added to their pro shop accounts.

For one person, today's competition was his last. Ron Atkinson is bowing out of competitive golf at the age of 92. Ron, who has been a member of John O'Gaunt for 54 years, held the record for the oldest member still taking part in competitions. He will continue playing social golf. Well done that man!

Still smiling despite being pipped into 2nd place: Chris Roy 

Third place: Michael Newstead
