Captain Richard Westergreen-Thorne presents Andrew Wellings with the Baz Backhouse Trophy
Everyone's a winner in the Christmas Fayre and Baz Backhouse Trophy competition - the last of the year for the Senior Section.
Joints of meat, wines, spirits, chocolates and biscuits - something for all 75 players in this festive get together. And there were quite a few festive outfits too to complete the scene.
Everyone arrived in good time for the 10am shotgun start on Carthagena. But hang on, who was that rushing to the tee with minutes to spare?
It was Paul Jones who opened his car boot only to find that he had left his clubs at home. But Paul is not the kind of chap to let a missing set of clubs spoil his day so he appealed to the pro shop for help and they hurriedly put together a bag of random clubs for him. Amazingly he scored 37 points - only two less than the winner!
After the action everyone gathered in the clubhouse for free sandwiches and chips courtesy of Captain Richard's honorarium and waited for the all-important results.
But before that there was a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday to Dave Wrench, a presentation to the kitchen and bar staff of a Christmas gift from the seniors in recognition of their hard work throughout the year and a few trophy presentations to winners who had been unable to attend the Presentation Evening earlier in the month.
Scoring at the top of the Christmas Fayre leaderboard was incredibly close with no less than six players on 39 points. Winner of the Baz Backhouse Trophy was Andrew Wellings, followed on countback by Malcolm Roberts and Jim Kerr. Well done also to Colin Norman, Andy Brown and Phil Gow who all scored 39.
